Time has stopped
My best friends mother was placed in ICU two days ago and the world has stopped for my friend. Today the hospital put her on a ventialator without hope of recovery. My point being, my problem seems so minute in stark comparison to thinking of the wishes of friends mother. Puts everything into perspective. Count your blessings even if its only one blessing. I'll be around in and out for the next couple days. Take Care Gary
I'm glad you stopped in, and I'm sorry for your friend and his mother. I'll say a prayer for them, and keep them in my thoughts. I know it must be tough for him. Don't forget to take care of yourself along the way, and we'll see you when you can get back.

Gary, this is so true...It is sometimes difficult to find gratitude when it feels as if lots of bad things happen. But there are always things to feel grateful for and that helps me a lot in my perspective. The more I focus on gratitude, the better I find my life.
I am sure your friend is very grateful to have your support and caring. I'm saying prayers for your friend and his mom, and you too.
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

My prayers are zinging out for you
your friend and his Mother.
It's a sad time for all of you
and there is no easy way to walk thru.
I find comfort in Psalms 23..
perhaps you and your friend will too.

Gary, I am thinking of you and your friend and his mother. Today I will keep you and them in my prayers during the day. It can be very trying and I have been in similiar circumstances. Take care.
Gary,
You can add my prayers to all of the others here. I've been in that same situation with both my parents and your friend is so lucky to have you around for support during this difficult time.
It sure does.
Just remember to let us all here at SR offer the same for you.
Thank you for sharing this need with us and for your humble gratitude and strength.

I think I just experienced what Heaven is like... individuals not physical but in spirit wishing my friends' mother be at peace with the unfolding future. I always made a comment ,"Tap me on the shoulder when I pass through Heaven." To all that posted in response to "my friends' mother." I just passed through Heaven. Thank you from the humbleness of my heart. Compassion is a virtue true of "good" friends. I bow at your presence; my friends. Gary
