i was getting all ready to post about how when you are on bedrest, your hair always looks awful because it's mashing up against a pillow all day, and about how irritating it is to not be able to go to the store to get things that (you think) you or your family need. it's just annoying to feel like you don't have control, you know?
and then i found out that a dear friend has cancer. she just had her 3rd baby 2 weeks ago. how do you even begin to deal with something like that when you have just given birth?
this is true helplessness--even if i weren't stuck in bed thousands of miles away--there is not one thing i can do about this. i'd give up all the cute hair and shopping in the world if it would make her healthy. i'd dedicate my bedrest to helping her get well.
as it is, i can only support from afar and send prayers up. just doesn't feel like enough.
