Don’t Tell Me Where The Road Ends
Posted by Kristina Summers on November 24, 2009
A woman died Thursday. I suppose I shouldn’t be so upset…after all I hadn’t seen this woman in 20+ years and didn’t really know her…but what I did know was that she sent me cards…she sent hand-made gifts to my babies…she was from a whole other generation…one where people cared, sent thank-you cards, and meals when someone was sick…a woman who assumed that because I was related to one of her best friends (my great aunt) that I was worth something…what happened to people like that? When did we stop being caring, compassionate…and why?
I do care…I want my children to care…amd despite the years and distance…I will miss you Dorothy, may you rest in peace. Thank God for people like her, but God…this is number 3 in the last few weeks…think I could get a break for a little while?
