How things have changed

(Obviously my life is different now than it was 8 months ago. From time to time I will write things here that have changed for me and my children).

When I read the newspaper I stop at the obituary section and scan the names and ages to make sure everyone was "old enough" to die. When I find someone that died young, I read the obituary to find out why. I think of the family and what they must be going through.

I also find myself fixated on pictures of newly engaged couples or recently married couples. I look at their faces and how happy they look and wonder what is in store for them.

I never used to glance twice at either of these sections.
