Life can turn in an instant

[lizziegrace]

This morning, I was at a friend's dropping some papers off. I got home and 5 minutes later, she calls in tears. Her dad had been rushed to the hospital. I went over and opened her store for her and worked all day. 7 hours later, she calls and her father's dead.

Make sure that people who matter to you know it.

2. Wow...

:wow: How awful for her. :(

I often forget to say things like this to people who matter...:(...I should do it more often.

[lizziegrace]

God, Lizziegrace. I'm so glad you were there for her. You okay?

:hug:

And you're one of the people that matters to me. I love you, woman.

9. Awww RRR

Love ya back. You're a survivor. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

10. I'm okay

just doing a little too much reflecting tonight. :(

[reyd reid reed]

12. Sometimes reflection's a good thing...

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

11. WE'RE survivors.

Fuck that...we're beyond survivors. To say we're 'survivors' makes it seem like we're barely hanging on by our fingernails.

We're good and we're only gonna get better.

We're like the very best wine...

:pals:
:hug:
:loveya:

[lizziegrace]

18. We certainly are!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. It sure can, my dear lizziegrace......

Oh boy.......that's tough.......

My sympathies to your friend......and you, of course....

Is it the friend with the cool antique store?

Let me just add.......how dear you are to me, and how much I love you...

And that goes for lelapin, and all the kitties too......

:grouphug: :loveya: :grouphug: :loveya: :grouphug:

[lizziegrace]

16. Yes Peggy, she's the one with the garden center store

You're a sweetheart. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. That's what I thought......

Please give her my condolences, will you?

I don't want her concerned about whether or not she gets in any more of those signs, either......

That can wait till things settle down........not a priority, OK?

As are you........:hug:

[lizziegrace]

19. Consider yourselves hugged

every last one of you!

:hug:

[RevCheesehead]

[Haole Girl]

21. That's awful. You are right, lizziegrace, it is very important...

..to make sure that people who matter to you know it. Life is short. :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

22. It is humbling recognizing how life can change in an instant

Am glad you are there for your friend, lizziegrace :hug:

[lizziegrace]

23. I'm glad I could be there too.

She'd do the same for me.

I'm heading for bed. The store can't close unfortunately. It's her only income right now, so I'll open and work tomorrow to.

Y'all have a good evening. And remember, :hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

25. Wow...

You're right---you never know what's going to happen next.

My deepest and most sincere thoughts, prayers, condolences and sympathies to you and your friend:hug: What a sad thing to have happened.

I'm so sorry:hug:

[lizziegrace]

28. Thank you

34. never let a day go by

that you don't tell those you love "I love you" One never knows when it might be the last words you said to them


and that is a truth I learned the hard way
