Sad this afternoon

It is really hitting me that a friend of mine is sick. So sick, in fact, that today she headed for hospice. I'm not mentioning any names, because she likes to keep her anonymity on the internet. And she sometimes swings by this blog when her computer is plugged in, which I hope is soon.

I have known this lovely woman since the early 1990s. Back in my days of single motherhood, she was a good friend to me. We spoke less these past few years, yet she remains a faithful friend.

Time is short now, and that brings me to tears. I can't control or change what is happening. I only hope that she knows how much she means to me. I will cherish our friendship. Always.
