Saying the Wrong Things.....

Have you ever said something only to realize the instant it left your lips it wasn't good. A gal I socialize on occassion at work was telling me her husband hurt his back and had to go in for an MRI. She has two little kids (under 5) and his MRI was at like 1 in the morning. She commented that would be interesting. I asked her if her mom would be able to help out. She looked at me and said, "I guess it has been a while since we talked. My mom just signed up for Hospice House as she has cancer." I guess I am not sure if I feel worse about bringing up a bad topic or not being a decent friend and actualy chatting with her in so long. Life is busy and it seems impossible to make time for even half the things you are doing. But I guess the moral of the story is that Life is short, you really have to pick out all that is important to you and focus on it. I really feel bad for my friend, her mom is not that old. I don't even know how I could ever deal with something like that. It puts life and all that it holds in perspective in a big hurry.
