The Gift of Time...

Jim was admitted to the trauma hospital, 80 miles from our home, on the evening of March 1. A blinding snowstorm was blanketing the roadways with several feet of snow and had paralyzed travel for hundreds of miles.

For the first four days, none of our family members were able to get to the hospital. This gave my boys and me time to grieve without anyone else around. I felt this time together, as a family, was a blessing from above.

Blessings Embraced:

• Time with loved ones is a blessing.

• Divine timing is a gift.

Affirmation: I am grateful for time spent with loved ones.
