That Damned Black Cloud

It seems that damned black cloud is over us again. 

A dear friend from our VFW days is going through hell right now along with her son.  His car crapped out on the Watterson Expressway on the night of my birthday, and as he was getting out of his car, a car going about 65 mph hit him and threw him into the path of another car going 65 mph that ran over his leg.  It is only by the grace of God that the boy is alive and has use of all of his limbs and major organs.  As of yesterday, he's had 5 surgeries, lost part of the calf and the knee on a leg, but as I said, he has all of his limbs.  He is expected to make a full recovery, but it is going to take some time.  

Another dear friend at work lost his sister last night, after she had a massive stroke last week.  

I could go on with other dear friends that are going through their own hell right now but I'll stop, and will thank the Lord for me and the 'Rents doing pretty darned good right now.
