LIFE GOES ON!!!

I was just talking on the phone to Betty Gilbert, a very close friend of mine who lives in Globe, AZ in a trailer court.  She lost her brother two or three weeks ago. He lived in Apache Junction, AZ.  Today she told me that she has to be admitted into the hospital on Monday the 21st of January to spend 3 days (one thing that she said they were going to do was put her on a machine to "clean" the blood supply in her entire body).  She indicated to me that she will probably be put in "long term" care after the hospital visit.  She was packing some things in preparation.  She has 3 dogs that she has had for many years and that she is very close to.  They will be taken to the dog pound and probably put to sleep.  It tears me up that this is happening to her.  Her life has never been that good as she had a husband that mis-treated her most of her adult life.  I am going to try to drive up to Globe tomorrow (about a two and one half hour drive one way) and visit with her for a couple of hours.
