I just got a phone call. My friend K died. She was 40. She leaves behind a husband and 2 boys the same ages as Evan and Spencer, family members, friends, a church community, her sons' school community. I am devastated for them all.
How I wish there was something I could do that would mean something or make a difference.
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend. Scrapbooker, family historian, reader, cook, photographer. Volunteer. Political junkie. Springsteen fan. Loves deeply, strives daily to be a cheerful, kind and generous person. Fails regularly. Snarky, judgy and more than a little blunt. Some people don't appreciate my style. If you're one of them, that's ok. Get your own blog.
Just be there for K's husband and the boys. You have done this before and you will be so much help and inspiration for them. Love Mom H
ReplyDeleteJennifer-- I found your blog through Sandy (PAIIR). I love it!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend K. Losing someone close really makes you re-evaluate your own life.
I am so sorry for your loss Jennifer. Your mom is right--tjey will need you right now.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss Jennifer. What is it with all these moms with young kids dying? Karen Barbara (of Almaden group) passed away on Saturday. That's the third mom in 99 club for the past five years. That's incredible.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Very sorry for your loss. It's never easy and there are never the right words. I'm glad you can be there for her boys.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I'm so sorry. I know, though, that your presence in their lives is going to make a difference, even if you don't feel that you're doing enough. Friends like you mean everything in a tragedy like this. We are all devastated for you, as well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteMy condolances Jennifer.
