Just a short post to say I recently lost a long-time friend–she was my age and left us much too soon. She passed a few days after losing her teenage son to suicide. Why do these things happen? I haven’t a clue. We all struggle with things, physical and emotional, and sometimes it’s all too much. But she had a big heart that connected to everyone she met. And many, many people will never forget her easy, squeaky laugh. A busy life has a way of making us forget what’s truly important, so I want to honor her and remember as best I can to love, live, and be grateful. Goodbye, my friend, we will miss you. We wish you all the peace and love you deserve.
Goodbye, My Friend

So sorry for your loss, Sandra. Sending you lots of love and hugs. xo
Thank you, Erin.
So sorry, San. A double loss, as I’m guessing you knew your friend’s son, as well.
I recently lost a childhood friend, killed in a car accident. As I told my kids, appreciate every day, you never know what will happen.
Thinking of you.
Thank you, and yes, exactly!
Sandy this is a nice tribute. She was a beautiful person, even back when I knew her. I am grateful for friends like you.
Thanks, Traci. I’m grateful for you, too. It’s such an unexpected pleasure to reconnect after all these years. We will all remember her.
