End of the day...

It is 4:12...almost time to go home. The office is quiet except for the humming of the central heat, and the peck of the keyboard. Today has been very busy and I have had that 'bad' feeling since I got up this morning. A little after 3:00 pm the reason for the feeling became apparent. After almost 11 years at LBC...Marvin was terminated in a downsizing move. I am very angry right now...even though we have been afraid of this very thing since Pratt bought LBC a few months ago...it feels very bad. Marvin hasn't been without a job for even 24 hours since I married him 32 years ago...and like most people, it won't take long for funds to run out and life to be drastically different. We have started over a couple of times during our marriage, due to illness and financial set backs...but neither of us are anxious to do it again so late. I know we will weather this storm, God will take us to the other side, but it is terrifying to imagine what tomorrow brings. I especially feel horrible for Marvin...I know he is crushed and his self esteem has taken a major hit. He is a good man though...not just good, but the best...and I tell myself again...it will be okay. I am blinking back tears of sorrow, anger, and fear...it will be okay.
