Life Can Seem Astonishing

It feels like the experiences I've been having for over a month have me spinning out emotionally, mentally, and physically. It feels like I've been running the gauntlet at record speed without a pause!

Of course, I'm seeing and hearing that so many others are feeling similar to me. I want to cry "UNCLE" to the universe! Enough, already!

Tonight, as I spend another night in the hospital by my brothers side, I realize how grateful I am to be here for him. I wonder if he will survive yet again, as he so miraculously has before. My life is completely altered, and I'm grateful for it!

Moment by moment, day by day, each new experience teaches and reveals more than I could have imagined. "It has been an interesting ride", he said today. These moments are precious to me, and I'm savoring all of them!
