Too funny that we both had childhood friends named Mandy...kindred spirits indeed!

I'm still touchy about cancer, and I like to ignore that everyone's story doesn't turn out like ours did. And on top of it all, a friend's older sister passed away yesterday as well--from breast cancer. Too many hard things in such a short time. But I've been blessed by reading, my friend. We are a chain link fence--and we are so much more interconnected than we realize!

Then again - what a gift to be able to say all of what your heart wants to say... and what a reminder for us to do that with consistency for none of us know the number of our days!

I have a best friend like you described so I know how even if you loose touch you are always close. That must have been difficult to go through that. Joy does come in the morning. Thank you for that encouragement.

I lost an online friend last week who was a member of an online community I've been a part of for almost 10 years now. I never was blessed to meet her face to face, but I felt like I knew her nonetheless. Her death hit me really hard. It's funny that you should mention a childhood friend named Mandy who died young. I had a dear childhood friend named Mandy who was a grade behind me in school but who I knew from church. We had playdates and spend the night parties at each other's houses, our parents were friends, and of course, we learned about God and worshiped together at church. Her death devastated me as she was the first person I knew of my own age who died. I was a senior in high school and woke up on New Year's morning to the news that she had died in the wee hours of New Year's Eve following a car accident where she'd been thrown from a car when it skidded out of control. She had hit a tree when she was ejected from the car and sustained a head injury that eventually killed her a few hours later. I still think about her to this day and pray for her parents. She was their only child. I'll pray for Kara and her family too and you too, my friend! I am so grateful for the fact that thanks to the internet and blogosphere, we are linked together! :)The Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766065121317030103noreply@blogger.com
