Took me several hours to actually swallow the news. Another person I know has past away. I know her through my extended family and shall not name her out of respect for them all. I will say however that she was one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life and that I always looked forward to talking to her. Being a neighbor once in a while I would meet her at the grocery store where she worked, or in her front yard while she watered the lawn etc. She had a positive energy that radiated outward from her smile as she joked and giggled and I will miss that. She was also kind to my kids, her Son and my kids have had many hours of fun and a few friendly arguments and fights. Kids being kids I suppose. What makes this even more unusual to swallow for me is the circumstances behind her death. She had just delivered what I'm told is a baby boy who is in good health. Can you imagine what kind of emotional roller coaster this puts the new father into? What should be one of the happiest days of his life is also one of the worst days of his life, to top it off he has to help the boy he already has deal with losing their mother. And then on top of that we are days away from Christmas...
Life can be cruel sometimes...
All I can say is, not only does my heart go out to her family in the biggest way possible. I also feel for my family who I know were super close to her and her family. They were in all senses of the words, "Best Friends" and I pray that they will all get the healing they so need at this time...
