To read of your friendship reminds me of mine. And yes, the gratitude of it all. We often forget the simple things we take for granted. We never should. This one is a little gem.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-43698752200299635722011-01-12T16:31:17.135-07:002011-01-12T16:31:17.135-07:00What a poignant post.

She lived for 6 months after she was diagnosed and I had the priviledge of being with her nearly every day during her declining months. These kinds of memories dig deep into our souls and will forever leave a sweetness filled with joyful memories.<br />I am so glad you were able to be a quiet and comforting presence in your friend's life.<br />Sending you blessings..."Sunshine"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08570396598110263827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-50003021672465931662011-01-10T17:18:37.461-07:002011-01-10T17:18:37.461-07:00That is a beautiful story.

My best friend from England visited me a few days ago. She is very ill and waiting for a double kidney transplant and (a pancreas, she says.) She has been diabetic since age 6, and is now 53. She takes 20 pills a day, including morphine and keeps falling asleep. Every time I see her, I wonder if this is the last time, so I treasure every moment with Vickie.Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040438173687206889.post-36511579784296094062011-01-10T09:29:50.661-07:002011-01-10T09:29:50.661-07:00To be so comfortable with each other in the times ...To be so comfortable with each other in the times of silence say so much about your level of comfort with each other. And it tells what a wonderful friend you are to those around you.
