Juxtaposition

The word juxtaposition kept popping into my mind today. After this happened a few times I stopped to analyze why this was occurring. My morning started with a 6 a.m. phone call from a frantic Ebbie saying that Donnie had fallen and was weak and slow to respond. I called Tookie then dialed 911 and was on my way. I arrived to find Camellia Dr. impeded by a fire truck, police cruisers and an ambulance. After many hours in the ER it was determined that he has pneumonia and is severely dehydrated. En-route to the hospital I passed the turn to Tessa's house and immediately thought of new baby Cade. Then I decided the juxtaposition was that of a new life and one nearing the end. Each presents it's own challenges and even similarities. For now I will pray for the ability to be able to provide the care that's needed at this time and to remain extremely grateful for the knowledge I have of our Father in Heaven's plan for us.
