My last contact with Marie was by text in 2021. It seems like just a short time ago. She did not have cancer then. She did not know it was coming. So the scary thing is what don't we see coming. Today I am fine and everyone around me is fine. But what is coming?
Thousands of people in the twin towers in New York went to work on a normal day and did not see what was coming. The young happy Israelis partying on October the 8th did not see the horror about to happen. Today, Ukrainians sleeping in their bed and having a Russian bomb come into their home or people leaving their house in a car before an accident all have no idea what is coming. This is scary to me. Not knowing what the next moment can bring. I was in Canadian Tire store when a shelving unit fell on my head. It was heavy and instantly it could have killed or crippled me. It was strange that one moment I was normal and the next facing a brain injury.
The calm before the storm.
Marie didn't see this coming and neither did I.
