Last weekend was filled with as wide a series of emotional swings as I have experienced in some time.
Pay Myers, a lady with whom I worked for many, many years died after a long and difficult struggle with cancer. Not only did we have to bare the news of her loss while out of town, we were unable to gather with other colleagues to mourn with them at her funeral.
We got the call about her passing as we were driving to Pennsylvania to attend the wedding of Boss Cook's great niece. I always find great comfort in how families come together to celebrate such events. However, the joyful wedding was interlaced with pain of wittinessing Mom Miller's continuing mental decline.
Then there is the news that friends who have been struggling to have a child after having previously lost one in the middle of a pregnancy, did give birth to healthy twin girls.
The opening of the TV fictional medical series "Ben Casey" comes to mind: "Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity."
