Christine and I met all those years ago...when we both worked at a local newspaper office. She was a single, fun loving gal...and I was married with three children! But something clicked between us...and we formed a bond more of sisters...than friends. I celebrated when she married...was present when her first daughter came into the world....and mourned with her during the death of her infant son.
We have stood by each others through the loss of our parents, our siblings, our children and pets. We celebrated Christmases and birthdays together...enjoyed going to movies, basketball games and craft classes. My life will never be the same when she is gone. We texted each other good night on Saturday evening...little did I know it would be the last time. Liesel knows how much you love her and she will miss your couch snuggles. We are saddened you won't be here to celebrate the joy of our new grand baby...but you will be in our hearts forever.
Please keep her husband and two precious girls in your prayers...the next few weeks are going to be extremely tough.
And Chris...when you read this in heaven...(cause that is right where you're gonna be)...please find a comfy spot and wait for me...so we can once again share a cup of tea.
I love you and will miss you my dear friend.
I came over to your blog from Between Naps on the Porch. This is the first time I've been here, but I had to comment. This post about your dear friend touched my heart. I, too, have a treasured friend who has been like a sister to me for the past 35 years. I'm sorry for your loss of your sweet friend. You are in my prayers and in my thoughts. May God give you peace and strength during this difficult time... and may all of the precious memories you have of Christine bring you comfort.
