Sobering

Lots of things going on in my family and in the families of people I know and care about. Many of these things are not so happy, hence the title of my post. Here's some of the things that make me feel really selfish for complaining about the things I do, and realize that I am INCREDIBLY fortunate.

-My younger half-sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a single mother of three children, and has not told them yet. She wants to wait until she finds out how far along it is and what treatment the doctors are going to pursue.
-My older half-sister is moving to Georgia because her fiancee is struggling with a custody battle with his son. He was granted custody of his son in his divorce, but his ex-wife took him to court to keep him from being able to bring his son to Reno. In a court that favors mother's rights, he was told that if he wanted to keep custody, he would have to stay in Georgia so that his ex-wife could have easy access to her son for visitation. It makes me sad for the kid to have to be involved in such a battle.
-My great-grandmother turned 100 this year--she no longer knows who any of us are, she can't hear, can't see well, but she's still breathing and eating on her own.
-I have a friend whose father has been fighting lung cancer for over 2 years. Her mother is also unwell and not expected to live much longer. Her father was recently put into hospice care, and as of this weekend, the doctors are only giving him about 2 more weeks.

Please be praying with me on these situations.
