Yesterday I was doing some cleaning and decided to tackle the drawers of a dresser I have that was cluttered with all kinds of papers. I came across a Christmas card from my friend, Sue....where she wrote. "Here's to a better 2007". I sat there for awhile and reread her words and thought about how much I wish I could go back to 2007. For if I could, my friend would still be here. To have her gone still feels incomprehendable. I expect any day to get an email from her or to see her come in to where we worked together and shout a "Hi Penny" to me. There is such an abrupt silence when a person we loves goes away. I sat there and looked at this beautiful card that Sue took the time to get for me and to sign a few words to me on.....and I smiled. Smiled because I knew that in that moment she was with me the only way she could be, in spirit and in love.
I miss you, Sue. You were such fun. You left way, way, way, too soon.........but I know that you have Tom with you now and that you are both smiling from Heaven. You both will never be forgotten, ever!
