at the bottom of the wheel

Young friends and acquaintances dying suddenly either due to medical reasons or accident can really make a mess of my subconscious. My husband and father getting surgeries plus my irksome 2-week old cough (not TB, i'm sure) showing no sign of letting go are getting into the nasty part of my mind. That part that likes to show up as very bad dreams. I'm taking comfort in the achievements of my incredibly smart and cool siblings as well as my spectacular son...the entire package that is my family. Even though it's not perfect.
