This is a hard time of year for me because it's the time of year that I lost my daughter. I got a call this morning telling me that my other daughter's childhood best friend died last night. She was my third daughter for many years. I talked to her mom for a few hours; she lives very far from here or I would have driven to her. Anyway, this is my life. I'm thankful for each new day.
To stay thankful in times of challenges is admirable and worthy and not so easy sometimes. Good for you! :) My best to you and I didn't know about your daughter or your other daughter's friend. Warm thoughts your way -
