The waiting is hardest
A few things I've learned or remembered today:1. When a loved one is in the hospital, it really doesn't matter whether they have two legs or four. The silence created around the house by the absence of their footfalls is louder than any noise they can possibly create when present.
2. Five years may not seem like a long time but how many friends can you say you've known for their entire life?
3. There are some damned scary two-word combinations in the English language. "Nuclear winter" is right up there. "Bush re-election" is charting high with a bullet. "Renal failure" is number one on my list just now.
4. No one has brought more joy into my life on a daily basis since 1999. If there's anything at all like karma in this world, he's gonna pull through this just fine, because he's paid his dues.
If you've any spare positive thoughts over the next few days, Ken and I would appreciate it if you sent them out into the universe in care of Joey. Thanks.
