Silver Linings

I was given this food for thought recently:

There are only miracles. To one degree or another they all enrich the whole person. However, some are disguised as unpleasant surprises, botched circumstances, and twisted acquaintances that can rarely be seen for who or what they truly are until the pendulum has fully swung.

I got a call from dad late last night. So late, in fact, that I didn't hear the call. Then, a slightly confused message about a blood sugar drop, a call to 911 and a trip to the hospital. When I reached him this morning, I learned that she'd passed out on the bed just before bedtime, and didn't know who dad was when he tried to rouse her.

Her blood sugar is still bouncing around, so the doctors elected to keep her in the hospital through the night.

After her broken leg last week during my vacation, and now her trip to the hospital, I am looking forward to this pendulum swinging fully, so we all know what the miracle is. Seriously. Poor dear.
