STARTING OVER

Hello everyone.
I'm back. I know that it's been a while since I've posted but
I have been quite challenged. I'm sure that I have 'given'
but I didn't record it to memory so I'm choosing to begin
again. Well, the biggest 'give' that I probably ever had to
do was to write the obituary for a good friend and neighbor of mine.
She passed away suddenly on December the 14th of heart failure. She was
61. After her passing, I found out that she had no real family like she said
and that her life had been pretty lonely. I felt that the least that I could do was to
right her obituary based on the good friend and neighbor that she was to me.
It was very challenging and I cried a lot but it was also satisfying to me to know that
I gave my friend the gift of 'LAST WORDS'. I'll miss my friend but I am grateful to
have known her in all of her FABULOUSNESS.
Hold on close to your friends and family and keep them dear to your heart because
today may just be your last moment together. In concluding, I would like to dedicate the song
'I HOPE YOU DANCE' to all that may have suddenly lost a loved one.
STAY FABULOUS AND HAPPY GIVING!
