Wow! I've lived a lifetime in a week. Actually, I've lived a couple of lifetimes this past week. My mother's neighbor passed away in her sleep last Thursday morning. They'd been neigbors for over 20 years. She went the way we'd hoped my mother could go; at home and asleep.
Talking to her daughter, I was informed that her heart had gone from 35% function to 15% function from one Tuesday to the next. She was slowly winding down. My brother told me he'd seen her driving just two days before.
That started my day and by early afternoon, my daughter called with news about Michael Jackson. I can't help but feel like a part of my life passed on with him. The soundtrack of my life is set to Michael Jackson music. Oh funny that for every decade of my life, there's at least a couple of Michael Jackson hits.
As if life couldn't get any crazier, my best friend from high school lost her mom Saturday night. She was 90 years old and had cancer but, in some crazy way, I think we still thought we had more time.
