Distance

A message came via Facebook today with bad news about a mutual friend. My dear friend had a bad fall and is on life support system which is scheduled to be shut off soon. I feel so very far away. Not totally isolated as that is what the world of Facebook and e-mail and Skype has eliminated. I am not isolated from what goes on. Just so very far removed and feeling helpless to help and alone in my grief. When you are close and able to do things like care for the family and comfort each other it is a very different experience. My heart goes out to Mary's family, especially her two young daughters and her sister. I cannot even imagine...
