A friend of ours passed away a few days ago after a long illness. She and her husband fought her disease valiantly for several years. She was a lovely person, beautiful outside and inside. She always had a smile. She loved golf and loved to play golf with her husband and her friends. She was always fun to be around. Although her friends knew the end was coming, I am profoundly saddened by her passing. I pray for her husband, who is my good friend, and for her family.
The death of a friend makes me realize that I should be better in taking the time to show love and appreciation to my friends and family. To tell them I love and care about them, and to consider how they add to my life, or more specifically, how they are my life.
