Thank you!

First, thank you for all the kind words on my blog, twitter, facebook, texts, etc. They have really been a source of comfort this week! It's been really tough getting through each day knowing that I'll never see my friend again. I kept reading back through her last text messages, emails, etc. But after her services yesterday, I was reminded that we will see Cindy again someday. She had a strong faith in the Lord and always encouraged me in my faith. She's the one who encouraged me strongly to try the new church I've been going to. I have no doubt that her mansion in heaven is a very large one. And until the day I get to see her again, I know she's looking down at all of us who are missing her dearly, and smiling. Or maybe shaking her head. ha! There were times when I know we drove that poor woman crazy at work. But she loved us all like we were her own.

On a happy note, another friend of mine had a baby yesterday! I'm so excited to see Sawyer this afternoon. Somehow knowing that a new life was coming into the world yesterday made everything feel a little better. I think Cindy would have wanted it that way. The circle of life. Babies bring about hope.

Have a great weekend everyone! TGIF. I leave you with a portion of a note that I received from my friend the last week she was in the hospital. She was battling for her life and still took the time to send me a handwritten note. It makes me smile through my tears. I miss you friend. But I will see you again...
