Among Friends

[CAMOGIRL]

So sad.

i agree. There may not be a tomorow for each of us. We never ever know. Live your life  to the fullest - however that may be for you. Be happy with  yourself and with what you have. There were many among  us that their lives were cut too short - we could drive ourselves crazy thinking "why?".

I know it is hard - but, be strong, if you can. For your friend's daughter. For yourself.

What a terrible tragedy. 12 is much too young to lose your mother.

Dear SIster Golden Hair,

How very sad that your friend died so young and so tragically.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss, and also for those who remain behind who are grieving his death.

I also lost my deceased husband to a fatal car accident and personally know what grief and loss is, especially since I am now the lone survivor of my entire large USA clan.

It is indeed a very sad grief journey those who remain behind must endure.

I also am in agreement that we all should enjoy today, because it is the present, and it really is a present from Our Creator, especially since only he knows what tomorrow may bring.

My sympathy to you and her family at this time.

Dear Sister,

So very sorry to hear your friend died so suddenly.  Remember she is still with you through her dear daughter.  Heartfelt condolences.  Stay in touch with the daughter.  It will comfort her to know her mother was loved by her friend.  Sue

Walking with my friend this morning, we agreed that this day could be the last for either or both of us.  We said some nice things to each other.

Thank-you for all your wonderful thoughts and prayers

These boards have been a comfort for me since I came here for the first time.

Such sweet people that you will never know except from the written word

I'm sorry for your loss. Almost 5 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and life changed from that point forward. I was in treatment for just over a year and when it was over and safe to do so I began traveling and doing all kinds of things I always wanted to do. It's so very sad that it takes a crisis for us to wake up. Two days ago I heard that a friend of the family died - found on the ground of his back yard - guessing it's a heart attack - he was 48. Another wake up reminder but as u just experienced it's sad these r our wake up calls.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Again, I want to thank-you for your kind posts

Remember the old saying "Never go to bed mad".

We never want to regret our words and actions.

Thank you for the reminder that we never know what life holds in store for us and every day should be lived with gratitude.

I am sorry for your loss ... and the fact that this precious little girl has no mother.  PLEASE stay in her life as you bridge a gap from her past to her present.  There will be a point in the future where she will be glad for the stories you tell of her mom.
