Surprises

Life has it's surprises. Death has them too.
Yesterday morning my Aunty Babs was crossing the road when a driver bumped into her, a low impact, which normally would have led to a paiful time in hospital...
But as she fell... She banged her head so it was to ICU she went. Like the man I had visited before, as I visited her last night she would come round soon.
This morning they switched off her life support and she died.
Shock doesn't express how I feel... Derailed is more like it. In the midst of life there it is... A reminder that 'we are but grass, the wind blows over it and it is gone and its place remembers it no more. But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures.'
I will miss my Aunty Babs.
