Thank goodness for friends. I can't tell you how grateful and blessed I feel for the friends in my life. I have had a continual stream of people calling, texting and checking in with me to see how I am doing. There have been a few days when it just felt like too much to answer them but most of the time, I have been very thankful that people care enough to check on me. I have enjoyed the lunches I have had with people. Number one because I love food. Number two because who doesn't like to go to lunch with friends. The thing that has been nice is that no one has expected me to "share" what has happened. There have been times when I have been totally comfortable talking about Kami and what this has done to our lives and other times, we just enjoy a nice lunch. I have had so many people tell me that they pray for us continually. There are no words to tell you how grateful I am for those prayers. There have been times when I have felt that is all that keeps me going. I was telling someone the other day that I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest and I have to figure out how to get up each morning and continue to breathe with my heart injured.
I'm sure you have heard the quote "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold". I have had friends I have known for many years and some that are newer in my life say just the right thing at the right moment to get me through some tough times. Many of the people that are my friends are people that Kami introduced me to through her friends. The parents of Kami's friends have become good friends in my life. I am thankful to those friends because they can help me keep those memories of Kami alive. My fear is that she will be forgotten. I don't want that to happen. She lived and made an impact in our hearts and I want her to continue to be with us and be part of our memories. I pray for her every day. I am so thankful for the concern that has been shown for our family and want everyone to know how grateful I am for good friends.
