My Friend.

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 03:01:19 GMT

Awhile back I posted about my best friend who was ill and you were so kind and supportive with your prayers and good wishes. For awhile it looked like she would be ok, but sadly last month she passed. Forgive me for being sentimental , but tonight I just wanted to share what a really fine person she was. It's rare to make a good friend later in life, so I was blessed. My friend never met a stranger, ( not like the kitty at all. ). She was, funny, irreverent, kind and a little prickly. She was a traveling CRNA, and after she retired, we only saw each other on visits. We would talk often and email , we never lost touch. She lost her husband a few years ago and we grieved along with her. She wasn't alone though, but surrounded by her animals. We both loved books, cats, politics, and shopping. If you lasted this long , thanks, I still head to the phone to tell her something funny. I was lucky to have her as my friend, and I will hold on to that.

indoor kitty,

I very sorry for your loss. As you wrote, it is difficult to make new friends later in life, and to have found one you treasured was surely an unexpected bonus in your life.

For the last decade and a half, I have lost my closest friends, one by one, and so I understand your pain. I was thinking of two of them this evening and marveling at how blessed I was to know them.

Bask in the glow of all the good times you had with your friend and rejoice that you had such an experience.

May she rest in peace.

@QVCkitty1 ...I grieve with you on the loss of your dear friend. I know only too well what you are feeling as I also lost several of the closest and dearest friends I had and miss them each day. You have wonderful memories of your special friend to keep you company on lonely nights as I have of mine. May your dear friend rest in peace in the arms of the angels.

@QVCkitty1, I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear friend. Love and friendship are so precious, and I can bet your dear friend is watching over you from heaven. When I lost a dearest friend several years back, she told me she was going to watch over me from heaven when it was close to her time to leave. I just know your friend is doing the same.

It's rare these days to find a friend that you can so deeply connect with. I am sending you my deepest condolences. It is so very hard to lose a person who has touched your heart and enriched your life so much. You have every right to grieve for her. She will always hold a very special place in your heart.
