Sunday I lost a good friend. A friend that use to come over and play with the bunnies when we were kids. After High School as with most we lost touch...then we found each other by mistake 1977.....her husband and Sami's daddy...they worked together at Hatcher. She and her family left and moved to NC. Lost touch again.....2009 February....there she is again, we were getting ready to go to our 35th high school reunion. This has really hit home really hard. She was at the beach with her daughter and 2 beautiful grandchildren. Saturday night she went to bed...Died in her sleep. At this time no one knows why.
It made me stop and think...women my age are so many things...we have worked hard to be: mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend,grandmother, nurse,cook,care taker,home maker, lover, aunt ....stop and think...we try so hard to be it all. I know Harriet is in a better place and she is so happy, but what is hard for me is knowing of the heart ache, sadness, disbelief, and the feeling of helplessness that her family and friends feel.
I pray all will find peace and serenity in God in this time of such a loss.
