My husband has a friend who is dying of cancer who has three children under 5. Last fall, she lost her infant daughter to SIDS. But she is blogging with grace, and I follow her posts and learn so much from her. Actually, she doesn't know me and I try to write what I hope are comforting comments on her blog without her knowing that my husband is a friend. I guess I want her to feel she matters out here, that she is heard even by people who are not personally involved in her life. It really is hard to know what to say in these situations. But I suspect that just caring goes a long way in a terrible situation. <br /><br />Glad you had a great 4th :)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354890444410748967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-50618620023624665222012-07-05T21:32:56.128-04:002012-07-05T21:32:56.128-04:00So sorry about your friend.

One day she was fine and the next she was in a coma, and the day after that she was in a vegetative state. I never got to say good bye to her. I wish that I could have told her in person those words from Randy Pausch. They are very soul soothing to me today. It's been 3 years. I still miss seeing her and talking to her. It's nice knowing that a part of me is with her and vice versa.Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409070375081565996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-9155169195895495382012-07-05T17:00:48.091-04:002012-07-05T17:00:48.091-04:00And part of you WILL go with him.

His mother said, "Why does he take so much with him?" This is a very touching as well as true (in my case) - brought me to tears. <br /><br /> Today's blog reminded me of my own existence, as well as the days becoming 'numbered.' I know how this must seem; however, the program of Al-Anon has assured me of accepting each day that I live to be able to maintain my sanity. After all, yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, so I live in my HP's gift - the (a) present!<br /><br />And, yes, I've known many people who have died, and they certainly do take a part of me with them; the flip side is - they also leave a part of themselves with me to keep good memories alive.<br /><br />Whew; I guess I needed to say this - - -<br /><br />Thanks for the mind-provoking blog!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Anonymous #1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-17841508199316884072012-07-05T14:23:37.489-04:002012-07-05T14:23:37.489-04:00Great photo of the fireworks!
