Saying Goodbye

This week has been a tough week for me.  A friend of mine passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm at the age of 46. Stacy & I worked together for 5 years before I left to stay home with Addison. She was truly a nice person & had such a vibrant personality.  It's hard to believe she is gone. I can't stop thinking about her husband & 4 year old son.  I keep thinking back to all of the memories I have of her - meetings, projects, the first time she showed us pictures of her son, her singing, all the silly pirate jokes she told. But mostly I think of her son & how he will now grow up without his mom. It is just so unfair! I do believe in God & the fact that He has a plan for everyone but at times like this, it can be so hard to understand & I struggle to make sense of it.

The next couple of days will be tough as I  gather with friends & my former work family to say goodbye but I hope feeling the love everyone had for her will bring us all of sense of peace.

And to Stacy, know whenever I see a box of wine I will think of you & silently toast you.
