Friends, one of our members is having a particularly difficult time. She's been in the ER a couple of times now since last week. A night ago was the second time, and she was there all night while they ran tests. Even worse, she was already scheduled to put her really old little dog, Jonah, down tomorrow. I don't know about you, but I don't think I could do both of these at the same time..meanwhile, she found out a friend of her's (Marie) had a growing case of demintia and no one knew that she wasn't really being cared for at home (as her husband had just become overwhelmed with it all) until she fell down the stairs. Thankfully, she's now in an aging facility being cared for, but all of this has avalanched Claire. Just lift her up when you think of it as you go about your day. Much love to you all! 馃鉂わ笍
