Talk about a rough week

It seems to me that when it rains it pours. Last week which should have been nice and relaxing was a sad week. I am a huge fan of celebrities and was very sad to hear about Ed and Farrah. Of course the sadness I felt for them was tripled by the loss of one of my favorite singers ever Michael Jackson. I was in shock all night Thursday about his death. I grew up with his music and loved it from the time I was a toddler I would sing and dance to his music. Sadly Friday came with another huge shocker for me. My friend Sean who I have known since I was 15 as we worked together called. Earlier in the week he told me she had been diagnosed with cancer and he was in town. On Friday she passed away and to say I was stunned would be an understatement. His mother was only a year older than my Dad and I cannot image one of my parents dying at this point.

So this week which is a short week due to the 4th of July holiday will be extremely stressful with the visitation I went to tonight, the funeral tomorrow, and one of my best friends husband having surgery on Wednesday. Like I said at the beginning when it rains it pours. I want to do something to help these great friends in my life but know that there is nothing I can do to help or ease their pain. I know what it is like to have an immediate family member pass away and it is incredibly painful. So this week I will be saying many prayers not just for me but for everyone in my life and hope that they have a week of blessings bestowed on them.
