Feeling sad.
My brother's mother in law, to whom we are quite close - she's been living with them for some of the time, had a stroke the day before her 90th birthday. She got her speech back pretty well but remained paralysed down one side and weak and tired and not able to feed herself very well. She was transferred to a nursing home and had actually started to pick up a bit recently but then got pneumonia and was moved back to hospital and put on antibiotics.
I just went on facebook and first read a message from a friend at church saying she had had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and then a message from my brother saying mother in law has been taken off antibiotics and is now having 'end of life care'.
One very long and very full life and one tiny little life hardly begun. Both very, very precious.
