I GUESS THE CYCLE NEVER ENDS

I have a habit that most people who live in their hometowns have, scanning the obituaries. If I miss a day, I just go online and it goes back a week or so. Found out this morning, that one of my best friend's Dad died last week. The funeral is not until Tuesday, so they must have had to do an autopsy.

I haven't talked to her for a few weeks, she emails me occasionally and we have just been out of touch for awhile. But for some reason it hit me really hard. Maybe it just brought back all the memories of when Dad was sick, how much she listened and cried with me when test results came back bad. How Sierra, little 3 year old that she is, would just run and hug my legs, when I needed it the most and how I would hide the tears and she would still see and ask what was wrong and then I would cry more. How she was sad when Joey-Bob's baba died . . .

There have just been some many deaths in the past weeks that have hit close to home that it's been monopolizing my thinking.

And just yesterday, I saw two different girls that I have known for years, one of them, her whole lifetime and they were both pregnant with girls after having 2 boys.

Anyhow, I just needed to get my thoughts down in cyberspace . . .

I read the obits from California and Hawaii. I guess I'm a C&H girl. LOL.

I'll have to ask Ranter if she reads any.
