My Pain
Is So Small

I have very dear friends who struggle tonight with things I do NOT even think I could face and/or handle.

My friend from work has a father on life support. I coach him daily across the universe. "C'mon Mister G, get better. Your family still needs you. You're only 74 freaking years old. Get out of the bed. Recover. They love you and need you."

And I watch my dear friend struggling to get by day by day. Working...going to the hospital...working some more and back again. Couple that with the New Orleans disaster. She lost a dear relative due to that mess as well.


And then...there are my other dear friends from my past. We've only recently started corresponding again. One of the girls, who sang in my band from 1993 to 1996 married the most beautiful, generous, kind woman on Earth. This woman....has been taken for a LOT of money by people she trusted, treasured and supported for YEARS. I do NOT know the details. I only know that the BETRAYAL is enormous. I only found out about this today. They will both be in my prayers for years...always...and forever. I am hoping that when they "gamble" on friends in the future, they will be true friends....people who are honest and trustworthy and true.


My heart goes out to my friends tonight. And as I said in the title of this post, my pain is SO small compared to what THEY are going through. Sure, it still hurts, but somehow NOW....it seems so small. To ANYONE who reads this post, although you do not know them (some of you do)....please include these lovely and beautiful people in your prayers.
