Conversations with Paige

Paige is my husband's niece, so mine by marriage.  She was in her mid-twenties when she was "found down" in her apartment, after having a stroke the day before.  It was such a scary and terrible thing for her family, devastating for her parents.  My SIL, Sharon, devoted herself to caring for Paige, while losing a battle with breast cancer herself.  Very bad things can happen to good families.  


Paige still uses a walker and doesn't have a lot of muscle control on one side of her body.  An aspiring photographer and A student once, days from graduating with a great future ahead of her, the road sharply curved.  She's lost so much, and she suffers still. But every now and again we will have a conversation via text messaging and I say a prayer for her continued health and piece of mind.

Yeah, its raining right now.  I don't want to get out of my car and go to work.  I could just fall back asleep here!
