arghh .. It doesn't rain but it pours. Serious Good Vibes Needed

[auntAgonist]

I was laid off work a week ago, no biggie, I'm supposed to go back on the 19th of May.

I have a horrendous cold and I hate being sick ...

But .. the worst

Today, the nursing/retirement home where my father is had a major fire. 1 dear woman is in critical condition in the hospital and 11 others including my Dad are hospitalized with smoke inhalation. The fire happened in the suite next to my Dad's he was napping at the time. Had my Dad not heard the fire alarm I shudder to think what might have happened. Firefighters and area residents rescued the people from the nursing home, many of them too frail to get out on their own.

My minute issues pale in comparison to what these poor people are going through. Some good thoughts please for ALL of them. My Dad will be ok. My sister is there with him now. (Niagara Falls Ontario. The Cavendish Manor) Healing thoughts for the critically injured lady and calming thoughts for the displaced residents ... I can't imagine how frightened they must have been.

thanks DU.
