Default Got sad news today...friend's daughter died.

Today I called my daughter to see if she was coming with my son to eat dinner. She told me she had to go to a viewing, I asked her who.

A friend that I went to school with lost her daughter who was with her boyfriend, he died also. It happened in Madison County, near Athens. Someone found them sitting against a tree, they died sometime Sunday.

She was around 30-33 years old, he was 31. They believe it was an accidental overdose. I just could not believe it, yesterday I heard that a friend I've known for years died of a brain anurism. My best friend's BIL, her sister has cancer and yesterday they found out her husband's sister has cancer. The guy that died is also her husband's sister's husband.

I asked myself what do I have to complain about...my best friend with the family member with cancer also has MS. We have been close friends for 48 yrs...she is so stressed and I worry that she might go into a relapse.

Man...Sister has cancer, BIL dies, finds out SIL has cancer...oh and their really good friend went missing and they still haven't found him. This has been within less than a year.

I know, Momma......it makes us realize that our own problems are not as bad as we thought. I'm sorry for all this "stuff" that's going on right now. I pray that something good happens for you....and soon!

Took me awhile to pick my jaw up off the floor..That's just so much for anyone to deal with. I hope your friend makes it thru all this OK. Sending positive, loving, healthy thoughts your way~

Too much for one soul to bear but they do. Terrible, horrible and awful. Even far-away and really not involved it's really heavy. I can't imagine being close to it.

Sorry to hear all of this Momma~ It does seem that bad news comes in droves.

Hoping your friend can handle all the stress and that she leans on those who love her for support. Take care of yourself, too!
