I’ll tell you
what it’s like.
It’s like a train
coming
and rolling
over you.
You can’t get
out of the way
or
stop the train
because
it’s too late.
All you can do
is take it–
let it run over you,
let the train
finish its job.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Love Ethel
The most significant element in any event is one’s attitude to it.
Truth. Thanks. Ethel

Sometimes, sickness can be like this, too. It doesn’t necessarily end in death, but it feels, nevertheless, like a train that just has to come and do its horrible black job.
It is! Love Ethel
