Life Changes So Fast--sorry its al ittle long

This morning I'm talking back and forth (illegally of course) with my friend Saralyn via email.  We're exchanging jokes and other funny things and laughing about them of course simply trying to avoid work because who wouldn't if they could? 

Then not even 2 hours later she calls me from her cell phone fighting back tears asking me to get ahold of someone in her department to relay some information(we work together).  I'm starting to tear up because I know this can't be good, I immediately think "OMG are the girls ok? Is Chris ok? Did someone get hurt, what could be wrong?" I'm 2 seconds away from leaving myself when she says her mom had a heart attack and she's on her way down to Ft. Myers to be with her.  Apparently it happened late last night/early this morning and they had just called her from the hospital.

This scares me so much because her mom is the same age as mine, but in MUCH better health.  I want to cry for her and go hug my mom all at the same time, especially because I know my mom is likely to have me in this very same spot one day, as she has congestive heart failure.  It's just scary to think of how in such a short amount of time you can go from actually having a good at work and being so happy to feeling like your life is ending, as I know she is going through right now.

Please have her and her family in your prayers, I know it would mean the world to her right now.  Thanks everyone!

I will definitely pray for her!! I went through something very similar with my dad right before I got married. It's just like you said, everything changes in the blink of an eye! I hope everything turns out alright! Keep us updated!

I know how you feel, unfortunately I've been through this a lot in the last few years with my grandparents and my dad.

I'll keep her and her family in my thoughts and prayers.. things like this make you realize just how precious life is.

Her and her family will definitely be in my prayers.  I'll be praying that her mom is able to recover and everyone is well.   I lost my father to cancer and never again do I take anything or anyone for granted.  Life is too precious.

Thanks for the well wishes!  I spoke to her last night, they didn't get down there until pretty late since she decided to wait until her daughter got out of school.  Her mom is doing ok, it was thankfully just a mild heart attack and they plan to send her home on Sunday.
