Fleeting

I am always in awe of just how fleeting life is. I hate that fact sometimes.

This morning I got a very unexpected called from one on my best friend's (Kim) older brother. I have no idea how he got my number, but I am glad he did. He let me know that Jason, Kim's Husband, was found on life support and was not doing well. He was found unconscious yesterday evening.

I called Kim's twin brother and spoke to him briefly getting a few more details. I was very concerned about Kim since she is about 25 weeks pregnant and it has been a pretty rough pregnancy. (she just got off of bed rest about 2 weeks ago.) The doctor is really wanting her to gain weight. And just as I suspected, she isn't eating much, not that anyone really would.

Not much later I got the call, they removed the life support. I don't even know what to say. I hate that I can't be there for Kim. I just talked to her on Monday. She was sounding so great. She was so happy to be off of bed rest. We had a long talk about the "Big Picture" and how God has plans that we don't see, and int he long run, they are better for us. We were talking about her children and how she always wanted a girl and all she will have are boys. (This has to be her last pregnancy.)

I just don't know what to do. I really wish I could be there for her, I just don't know how to make it happen. Luckily, she has a large family. I know she is in good hands. Maybe we can work out a way to get out there for the baby.

It is just a sad day. It is so unexpected. It really makes you think.

Kim, I love you. Hug those sweet little boys of yours for me.
