Short Break

This week has been hectic both mentally and physically and I haven't had a moment to rest or think or breath or eat or...anyways.  Eating has only happened because people around me have been stuffing food in my face...God bless them.  I have a handful of posts lined up, so once I feel back to normal emotionally, then I'll put them up :)

With a new lab starting and all the craziness that the passing of this young man brought, it's been hard to juggle everything.  But, I'm going home for the weekend to take a break from "life" which is impossible, but I really am looking forward to just being with my family and having my mommy take care of me :D pampering time.  My poor hubby, I'm leaving him here with the mess of everything (which includes our house since I haven't even had a minute to just be home).  I wish I could take him with me...he needs a mental break too.  I wish I didn't have to come back to this hardship...but I know once I get back from my break, i'm going to have to get back into gear to take care of the friends around me that are falling to pieces.   

I pray that no hardship ever befalls anyone, especially something like this.   

RIP

Yesterday was a heart wrenching/horrible/agonizing day for the family of a close friend who lost a loved one, a brother, an only son at the age of 20.  He died from an illness unknown to all...and illness that his closest family will forever blame themselves for.  Words can't describe the emotions and thoughts racing through my head and those of his family, especially his parents. 

Keep your loved ones close, keep them safe, tell them you love them.  Life is short.  We never know when it will be our time.

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
