This is a picture of a plate I did for Amy on our 25th anniversary.....and the card I got the picture from........This year would have been 32 years......The plate says...I can't imagine life without you...thanks you for being my friend. She has been gone 2 years and I still can't imagine a day without her...let alone a life time!
Monday is the day...and I will face it alone......I am not going to California this year because I chose to wait and go in June for her daughters 8th grade graduation......The saying misery loves company is true...there is something very comforting about knowing that the people around you truly understand the depth of your pain......I will miss seeing them.......but it is better so share a happy and proud occasion than a sad one........

I accidentally found your site and couldn't stop reading. I also met my best friend in 1974, we were both 4 years old. Like your story we had times of living near and doing everything together and times of living far apart but always staying in touch. But, no matter how much time or distance there is, we always pick up right where we left off. Anyway, it's not like me to write to someone I don't even know but I wanted you to know your words are very touching. You've inspired me to make more time for my best friend. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how painful it must be. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks Robin....Mission accomplished ..if I help even one person ....make sure your friend knows how much you love her....I never got to say good-bye....I would give anything for even a minute more.....
Sweet Sundee,
I don't find myself coming by here often, but I was compelled to come by knowing you're driving down to see the graduation.
This is truly something you do alone, this grieving. I'm so sorry for your loss.
