A couple of months ago I came across (on Facebook) one of my first girl friends, we are talking Jr. High here. It was fun to exchange a few PM's purely platonic. Talking about old times, old friends, very innocent times in our life. A month or so ago she posted that she had a weird lump on her neck. FNB came back inconclusive which I found encouraging. Various theories from various docs Tues a biopsy was performed. PM'd my best wishes the evening before. Awaiting results. Checked her FB page today only to find eulogy posts from various FB friends. Dead at 56 years old. RIP Laura. TM53 came away with this lesson today: Live large, play hard, love deeply, make peace with your God, pick your battles. It's not a question of if but it's when and how.
amen dear friend - amen...I learned this as in one year I lost two grandmothers, a dear beloved cousin who was 45, an uncle(s), and almost my son (in battle) another lesson learned isn't it...life is too short to be sad or angry or???? - thank you too for the reminder
Tm, So sorry about your friend Laura, but the sentiments you express are so very true!!! Thanks for the reminder!
I am so sorry for your loss TM. It was a good thing that you were able to reconnect with her after all that time. Losing someone that quickly is a real wake up call for all of us. I will keep you in my prayers. I am learning to take each day as it comes and do what I can as I can. I also need to learn how to play again. It's been a long time coming but I think I need a beach day!
I will keep you in my prayers TM. You speak of a very good lesson for all to learn before it is to late one that is very near and dear to my heart.
Very sorry to hear that tm, and reminds me of my co-worker last year who I talked to on a Friday and then find out on Monday she died over the weekend from a brain anuerysm at age 44. It left us all saddened, in shock, and speechless.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Sudden death is so sad. We have no time to prepare. Several years ago, I was sitting in the Ladies Lounge iin my office and joking with a coworker. It was Friday night and she was going to a wedding the next day. She was a new driver and her parents bought her a brand new car. When I arrived at work on Monday morning, I learned that she and her date were killed in a car accident on the way to that wedding. Treasure each moment with loved ones and friends.
Oh TM, how shocking and sad. Just connecting again and this loss. Very sad. It sure puts a new perspective on living, experiencing, and appreciating each day, because you never know. So sorry.
Thanks all for your condolences, really didn't expect them. Chris and Dizzysheba et al, sorry for your losses.
Alas no one to go to the beach with me right now. Yep, going to the beach sounds so nice. Going at night sounds even better! Listening to the waves and seeing the moon shining off the water. And right now watching the light display out over the gulf! (lightning)
