Somewhere in all this, are the rooms where my sons were bornand the room where my father died. I myself have spent more than a couple of hours in the emergency Room here at Rex Healthcare. And in the waiting rooms of various suites, awaiting news of someone's surgery or examination. Hospitals are hard to deal with. The institutional decor, the smell of disinfectant, the lousy food, all of which seem designed to make you happy to leave. (As if you needed another reason?)

But as of this moment at least, two people near to the blogging community are dealing with this very odious situation. Carmi and his wife Debbie are awaiting Debbie's mother's return home, and Mimi is waiting for her father to journey on to his eternal home. So keep these two families close in your thoughts. Because soon or late, we all have to take our turn.

Your Turn: Got a "Hard" photo to support this week's theme? Feel free to share a link in the comments. If you're new to Thematic Photographic or just wondering how this works, you can find out all about it here or better yet, here at TP's usual home.
