Watching TV coverage of tornado devastation in southern Indiana. Indiana Task Force One is on the way. There are fatalities...at least four. Here in Plainfield, we just had two rounds of storms with big hail, and it's not over yet. I figure the second round was another attempt to dent my car since the first round didn't do it...
The news about my former stepson's surgery today is not good. He will be sent home without any procedures, now having to choose between chemo/radiation or no treatment at all. My heart just aches for them all... He is so young. This is not fair.
My neighbor to the north came over on Tuesday to tell me that her father had been killed in an automobile accident on Saturday. That poor family! She and her children have had a rough row to hoe over the last few years. Now this. Her mother spends a lot of time at their house, babysitting the grandchildren while Mommy works. Now, Grandma is a grieving widow. Did I say "not fair" already??
At the risk of sounding cavalier about things, I will announce that today is my 65th birthday. Talk about unfair!! How did this happen? Only yesterday, I was raising a child. Now, I am becoming a child! (No, I'm not in diapers--yet.)
It is snowing heavily in northern Illinois where my daughter lives. They get snow. We get hail and tornadoes. But there are robins in my yard and sandhill cranes migrating northward overhead. That part isn't unfair. I'll take it!
