My friend, Robbie, left 2 weeks ago for a trip to see her mother. Unfortunately, her mother had a stroke and was not given a good prognosis. Robbie and her family have held vigil at the hospital for the entire time, knowing it was just a matter of time.
Her mother passed away this morning, and no matter how much time you have to prepare yourself, you're never ready to have to say that final goodbye.
Robbie knows how much we all love her and how much we share her sorrow at this time. But, it's never wrong to tell someone that you feel their pain.
Is there someone that you know who is in pain because of the loss of a loved one? If so, let her (or him) know you're there to share the the loss.

Happy 4th of July
My neighbor and friend, Jean, certainly knows how to celebrate! Whatever the occasion! We have no plans for the holiday, but whatever we do it will be a great day. I'm so glad to have been born and to have lived these many years in the United States. May we all think about the sacrificies made by so many in the past to form this country and to keep it safe.
If you haven't seen the movie "John Adams", please rent it or borrow it from someone who owns it. It's a long one, a long mini-series. We recently watched one episode a night until we finished it and enjoyed it very much.
A couple of weeks ago we went see our son for the weekend and we went to Mount Vernon to see the home of our first President. Hope you can go soon!
If you see someone currently serving in the armed forces, remember to say "thank you for serving."
Happy 4th.
