I'm sad right now and scared. Someone I've known a very long time is in medical danger. She's a girl who lived down the street when I was growing up and someone I used to babysit. We share the same birthday, but a few years apart, and always give each other a FB shout out on that day. We've never really been close, but she was best friends with one of my "sisters" for a long time. We've seen each other through the years at various social functions. At the most recent encounter we shared a reception table after a wedding where we talked a little and got to know her husband.
She's been pregnant and wasn't due until January. I learned this morning that she's had the baby, which weighs one pound, and she herself has had a massive stroke. And that's all I know.
Her mom is asking for people who know her to send out good thoughts for her, and I guess this is one way for me to do that. If you could spare a moment for one too, I would be very appreciative.
