I have written before about my friend Angie. I’m thinking of her today because next month will be the tenth anniversary of her death. I’m thinking about things we missed over these years, such as supporting each other as our eldest children married. If she were still alive, she would probably be on the school board still, and I’d have a clue about what is happening in the school system, something that is hard to do when you no longer have children young enough to be in K-12. She would have supported me through the health travails of our elders and I would have supported her in the same way. Even though she has been gone for a long time, I still miss her.
Friends are forever.

It’s understandable how often you think about Angie. It’s only natural when a person is lucky enough to have a good friend like that. She was also lucky to have you. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for your kind words. Angie was a woman with many friends, yet able to make each one feel special and loved. While I have far fewer friends, they are each no less cherished.

Thank you so much. Sometimes, friendship even enters our dreams. The night after my daughter was engaged to marry, I had a dream about Angie where I told her about it.

Just because it was a dream, doesn’t mean it wasn’t real… 🙂 They are around, always.

Sorry for your Loss Joanne but I believe people who have been close to us will keep a connection to us one way or the other. I still speak with my grandmother quite often even though she passed away two years ago 🙂
