View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Good morning. Sometimes life sends a harsh reminder to us of how fragile life is. Yesterday was a sad day, I went to a viewing for a friend's Mom who had a stroke last week and passed Saturday. Having lost my own Mom this year, my heart aches for him. As I walked out of the funeral home my youngest daughter called to inform me the son of a family friend had over dosed yesterday morning, his father finding him, trying to save him and calling 911. I could not bear to think of myself in this situation, as a parent I know I would be devastated and heart broken.
I just pray that today is a softer day for both families, they feel the love and support of their families and friends, and find the strength needed to get through the coming days.

Someone said to me today, *every cloud has a silver lining* and some one else, added *Not, every cloud is a storm* not sure why that made me feel better but, it did.
