So glad you were there to touch not only her family, but all the kids (like mine) desperately trying to make sense of it all. Oh, the brevity and frailty of life. I'm sure your hug to that young "friend" meant more than we could ever imagine.<br />Love, LeslieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342219840943153059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-89164731417960799092011-03-10T11:59:15.317-08:002011-03-10T11:59:15.317-08:00i'm ur newest follower - i commenected before ...i'm ur newest follower - i commenected before - but i HAD to write again - ur blog just has me HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://tiptoebutterfly.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-that-time-again-give-away-time.html" rel="nofollow">~LAST DAY 2 JOIN CUSTOM SIGN GIVEAWAY~</a><br /><br />*kiss kiss*<br />Erika @ <a href="http://tiptoebutterfly.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">~Tiptoe Butterfly~</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741606747568476782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-67843941013098509822011-03-10T09:26:20.916-08:002011-03-10T09:26:20.916-08:00Yes!

It is so wonderful that you were there to offer comfort, just when that girl most needed it, and had the insight to know it was needed.<br /><br />Yesterday my hubby did CPR on my friends husband. In the rush to do his work, my hubby vaguely thought he knew the woman, but was not concentrating on the wife, just the husband. It was a shocker to find out later that day it was my friends hubby who had passed on. I so wish I could have been there to offer a little comfort during that horrific time. <br /><br />The older I get, the more I learn how fragile life is. (I hope that doesn't mean I am growing up...) My friend told me the story of being absulutely compelled to tell a passing stranger how beautiful she was. The stranger burst into tears and said she had just come from her doctor and he had written obese on her chart. My friend made an impact on that stranger. If only we could always tell each other, "You are beautiful!"<br />KateAuntie Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360461982253858105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-68037447127975413772011-03-08T02:18:22.687-08:002011-03-08T02:18:22.687-08:00There is something elemental about mourning.
