Losing A Loved One

Well I have had a very busy summer's end.
What have you been up to ?
I have recently taken on a part time job as well as a volunteer position at the local radio station.
I have also been coping with losing loved ones.
The past 2 years seems that every time I turn around someone is sick and dying!
Last night again I received the news that my Aunt passed away.
I also received news that my son's mother in law is going into the hospital on Monday to have a small tumour removed from her lung.
It seems everywhere you turn these days that is all you hear about is death and dying.
I am saddened to hear this news yet again...

I pray to God to bless and keep us all healthy.
I can't believe that there was ice on the windshield this morning!
I know out west the snow started falling last week and as much as I pleaded for our nice weather to stay, we had to give in last night and fire up the furnace!
Luckily my landlord leaves it up to me as to when the heat / air conditioning comes on.
I somehow don't think that the usual October 15th for the furnace to be fired up is going to apply these days.
I keep chanting "Come on indian summer! We don't want snow for the fall fair on Thanksgiving weekend!"
For those of you reading this that live in another country Canada's Thanksgiving is celebrated usually around the 10th of October, this year it is on the 13th.
Well lets hope that indian summer appears and the snow stays away, for a little while atleast.
Do you have snow where you live this early in the year?
