Night

Well, it's about 4:40 am and I just got back from the hospital.


I'm the clergy on call this week, and it's been a quiet week, till about 2:30 this morning. I got called in for a code blue. A 51 year old guy had a heart attack as he slept.


His wife woke when he fell to the floor.


Their grandaughter who just started her holidays, was staying with them. She was there tonight, weeping quietly. His wife had just made his favourite Butter Tarts yesterday, and she only let him have a few, the rest had to wait till christmas...


Christmas.


 


It's gonna be a long week for that family.
