I said a rosary yesterday for my daughter's uncle who suffered a stroke (second one since February - fortunately, this one was less severe but scary nonetheless!). Whenever I hear the word "stroke", I automatically associate it with death. It's just what I have always thought. Maybe I saw it in movies or maybe it was something that only happened to "old people" and in their elderly and weakened state, they just could not pull through. Whatever the reason, I have a hard time wrapping my head around someone that I don't consider elderly having a stroke. If you pray, please say a Hail Mary for this man. He has a wife and children who love and need him dearly.
Today is Memorial Day and on that note, I'd like to say thank you to all who serve our country and that we should always honor the memory of those who have served in the past. This day isn't about parties - it's about remembering those who selfishly gave their lives for our country. It is something a lot of us would never do. So please, take a moment out of your day today no matter what you're doing, just to stop and remember.
