Leaving work today I happened to ask a colleague, and friend, why I'd not seen him around last week. It turns out his mother had a fall, a bad one, and has sustained some degree of lasting damage - she remains bedridden. His father is not in the best of health and was depending on the mother for care.
Just when you think you've got problems you get a sense of perspective in a way that can only be painful for someone else.
Lest we forget how fragile we are.
