I stumbled across a news item on my Facebook feed after leaving the local grocer that just couldn’t be true … some of my friends were posting goodbyes to another of our friends.

For some reason, news of her death has hit me harder than the other most recent friends, neighbors, colleagues I’ve said goodbye to. Sweet husband asked if she was older than me.  My response? No, we’re about the same age.

It’s hard to read the eulogies to people that have already left this life for eternity.  So, I’m committing to celebrating my friends & my family NOW, while we’re living.  Don’t be surprised if you see a post written by me celebrating you.  Because I love you and I want the world to know.
