Day Seven

A friend of mine just lost her father last week. (Just two weeks after having a beautiful baby girl.) It just seems like so much for one person to take. I really don't know how she is keeping it together! She's a lot stronger than I would have ever been!
While I was visiting with her today, she shared with me some of what she was going through. I just don't know how she is getting through this. I can't imagine what it is like to loose one of your parents. I thought I was going to go over to comfort her but as it turned out, she ended up talking and I was able to gain from her experience. I don't know how to explain it. She was telling me of things that I need to do with my parents before they are gone and gave me some suggestions of things to take care of. She told me to not take time for granted. It just broke my heart.
I am thankful today for my sweet friend and for her words of wisdom she shared with me.
I hope and pray that the days and weeks ahead will bring her happiness and peace.

I'm glad to hear she's doing better. How's their baby?

She's beautiful! And tiny! She might weight 6 pounds now. It's like holding a baby doll!

She is so cute! I have talked to my neighbor a few times and she seems to be hanging tight. She's a trooper!
