The Damn Wind

I blogged about the wind and cold bothering me. I blogged about being annoyed by the wind and it whipping my hair around. That was annoyance and nothing else. Today my friend had her life changed (at least temporarily) by that damn wind.

She was leaving her house, going in and out putting stuff in her car. The wind whipped the door and slammed her hand in it, crushing her hand and breaking her wrist. She's a friend from work, a server. She works 5-6 nights a week and brings home a big part of her family's income. Her life changed today...that damn wind.

My heart breaks for her. I know that the pain must be immense in her hand. I know that the pain mentally is probably worse...worrying about finances. I need to help her, but I'm not sure how right now.

The damn wind.

That is aweful...
You said you were not sure how to help her...maybe a meal or two?
