Weeping

So I arrived at work this morning.  We’ve had a parishoner sick in the hospital for a few days now…and it’s beginning to look rough.  When I got here I was talking to our administrator.  She gave me a book, “Gone From My Sight”…the book that hospice hands out to those who have a family member dying.

It is well written.  Not depressing at all…simply stating what happens in the body as a person dies.  It is actually very poetic…and peaceful.

But it makes me want to weep.

So, today, I pray for tears.
