Life comes at us with many terms, bumps and directional changes. My own husband has had the worst shoulder pain imaginable since the day our little Landon was born. He has taken to taking my pain meds just to bare life these days. That's been, however, over a couple of months. Katie had what seemed to me to be no notice that he beloved was ill. Unless there was something I'd not read, this was very sudden.
Over these last several days, while on our trip, I can't say how many people I talked to about Katie and Buck. Complete strangers to me, as always, but all have been stunned at what these two have gone through. Also while at work, I continue to find myself going over the events of late. It's hard to shake and hard to put behind me.
It seems from reading that things come together and that includes us here too.
I'll hope that Katie knows someday, how much this has touched her friends.
