heart broken...


one of my very best friend's dad died yesterday
& i am so sad for her
& so heart broken
& so helpless
& so not-knowing-what-to-do for her

except i do know
because i remember
when my mom died...

so i will call her
& i will text her every day
& tell her i'm so sad for her
& that it's heart breaking
& 'how can i help?'
& 'what can i do for you?'
& 'he was such a great guy'
& 'i love you'
& i will not forget
& not say nothing...

because even though it was 13 years ago
i remember...

Amen, my sister!! It is more important to be there through the duration of the journey than in the first minute. I know you will be there for the long term!
love you

I am sorry for her. And I am sorry for you. Her dad, and your mom, are always with those that love them. The distance is just a little greater.
