Last night, after a challenging day trying to comfort one heartbroken friend, I received a call notifying me I lost a friend who'd moved to NH a few years ago. This is so sad. I tried reaching her a few months ago, my letter was returned, my phone calls didn't go through (guess they'd changed the number), etc. And I had no idea she was battling cancer lately. What a shock to recieve such a call. I cried my heart out!

Oh Songbird, I'm so sorry. I just feel like the older I get the more loved ones I'm losing. I guess that's the way of life, but it just doesn't seem fair.

My thoughts are with you.

Songbird, that must have been a shock for you. I tried to imagine finally able to reach one of my long lost friends, and finding out she had just died. I don't think there are any words to comfort. I just feel with you.

Here is a quote I found that I'd like to share:

Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person (in your case your Boomer sisters) who care for you a chance to care enough.

It's good that you share. We care.

Song, sorry to hear of another loss for you. Are you able to be in touch with any of her family?

Thank you all for your solidarity. Dotsie, I knew her son. He called me. I'll be heading to NH on Saturday, as they will get together to say farewell. They're having her cremated. I have no idea what to expect, but I'll try to be there. She has a daugther, whom I never met, for she lived out of state at the time.

You and her family are in my prayers. I'm so very sorry to hear this.
