day 2

she is still all over my house.

i see her in the kitchen-in the pop can she left on my counter

i see her in my closet-in the clothes she gave me

i see her in my son's toy box-in the gifts that she gave jaden

why did she have to be such a generous person? why are the reminders of her everywhere i look?

so this is what it is like to grieve a friend's death...

I'm so sorry Suzanne. I did not know Susan and now wish I had taken time to get to know her. My impression of her was that she was full of grace and peace. I was so amazed at her courage and grace when she told her story before the church a few months ago.

I've never lost a close friend but I did loose my older brother when I was 19. I remember the numbness and the the ache and wondering how my mind would ever be able to grasp it. My heart aches, and I didn't know her. I've been praying for her husband and son and her family. I will pray for you and her other friends too.

God - we don't understand and we hurt - please comfort us.
