of your

life....

{from newlywed

working girl ~

to hoping 

to be a mama ~

to mama!

to mama

of older kids}

Always

there for you

2008

beautiful

kind

loving

compassionate

kindred spirit

When does

that person

change from

friend

to

family?

2006

Isn't it

strange

how

non-relations

can become

closer

to your

 heart

than some

of your own

family members

with whom

you share

the same

blood,

the same

ancestors

but who

don't really

know you

as well....

2009

Know that

you cry

easily

from emotion.

Can become
so animated
that you
finish her
sentences.

That you

have

an old soul

and love

the same

pretty things

as she

does.

2007

That you

have untold

questions

about spirit

and faith.

All our

children,

now out

of

elementary school...

Giving us

freedom

to fly farther

from the

nests,

together.

My dear

friend

Kathleen

sister of

my heart

About to

take a new

journey

Through 

surgery
and possibly

radiation

and chemo...

A different

trip than our

others....

But one I will

be with

her on,

every step

of the

way.

I love you,

Kath!

Dear blogging

friends, please

send your prayers

to my soul sister,

Kathleen

for her surgery

on July 27th

and for

the journey

that lies 

ahead.

We both

truly believe

in the 

power

of your

positive thoughts

and prayers.
