With a lump in my throat I write
« on: September 20, 2020, 07:47:26 pm »
That my good friend and neighbor just lost his adult daughter. She fought a long battle and in the end, her time here on this earth ended yesterday morning. I am in a state of mental shock as I write this, hoping to come to terms with this reality. Putting it into some physical form may make it sink in. She rescued a half dead dog once on the road but couldn't care for him. I took him in and with much effort brought him to health. She was a sweet person who loved life. I will be loving on this dog a lot here over the next few days. The dog, Shiloh, will be living the best life because of her. I hope she sees this from her place, and is happy to see him so loved.

This sucks. Im going to play board games with my son now.  I cant settle this. And knowing my friend and neighbor is so lost right now...

Prayers for her and her loved ones Sleek. Losing a child has to be one of the very hardest crosses to bare.

The Lord has a plan for us all. Take solace in the time she had to do good here. May the light of the everlasting glory shine upon her family and friends.
