Found out this morning that my teacher, muse, and mother figure, Rebecca, is in the hospital. I didn’t know for a week, and when I got there this morning, seeing her prone took my breath away. I
knew when I started seeing her 7 years ago, when she was 87, that she might get sick one day. But, I didn’t really know it.
She’d shattered her ankle and she’s battling pneumonia, and being a Christian Scientist, she’s refusing medication. I’ve never felt so useless.
My heart’s broke.
Awwwww *hugs*
All the good thoughts and prayers we can muster are headed her way.
oh my. I am SO sorry. I’ll have an extra martini for you tonight. I mean her. Hell, both of you.
Oh lord, I’m so sorry. Having recently lost my Auntie Blanche this one hits pretty close to home. Fingers crossed that she battles back. I’m glad you’re close enough to visit with her.
Oh, I’m so sorry. I have been thinking a lot lately about writing a letter to my teacher and muse from college — and now you’ve just spurred me on to do it. Thank you. And sending all the good thoughts I have for her recovery. (((hugs))) for you too.
Sorry to hear this. Prayers and good thoughts her way…
If your heart’s broke, so is mine. Thinking good thoughts for both of you.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Sending love, prayers, warm thoughts, and zen vibes…
I’m sorry. I’ll keep Rebecca, and all who love her in my thoughts and prayers.
Here’s the part in which I break away from the honeymoon with katydidnot to send you my love. Your friend is doing life her way. You are loving her, and I am loving you.
No medicine at all? So not even for the pain? That must be so difficult to watch. But I bet you being there helped her more than you’ll know.
Mmmmm, that’s rough. So sorry.
Oh, I’m so sorry. We are going through similar issues with my 82 year old Mom – not quite the same, but the worry and the care is the same.
Best wishes to you, and to Rebecca.
Oh I remember the posts where you’ve written about what an inspiring woman she is. What a history and past she’s invited you to share. My prayers are with her now.
Wish I could have done something to help.
