I hate October

October is the beginning of a new season but for me it's many things.
I dislike October very much.

I was suppose to give birth to a baby that was due Oct. 7th but due to my choices, never made it. This year, this weighs heavily on my mind.

My Grandmother's Birthday was the 19th. I was sitting in service on Sunday, broke down in tears. I miss her like I never imagined.

I forgot to send flowers to my best friend on the day that I never forget to send her flowers and to top it off I called her at night, to remember this day with her. What kind of a friend am I. There is NO reason, No excuse to be so shallow. I felt terrible.

Yesterday I went to drop off a meal for a sister in The kingdom Hall whose husband has been in the hospital with several medical issues. She confided that he will be having his legs amputated at the knee today. She says that she doesn't have time to cry. She has to go on. That this has been coming for some time.
A brother on Tuesday night at the meeting mention that sometimes we may want to trade problems others... Would we do that for her?
My thoughts are consumed with her well being. She has 4 children. The little one is 9 months old. She now will be the only one who can work and she works at Starbucks.

October isn't even over.....
