Sad

My friend died on Thursday and I found out today. She was an older friend from my Friends Meeting who had been moved into a nursing facility in the state in which her son lives about a year ago. I felt very close to her when she lived here...she was the Wise Woman in my life. I was a good friend to her several years ago when she had a stroke and lived here and could be visited and checked on, and she was there for me as I needed when I was feeling stir-crazy after having the Lone Star Baby (she taught me how to crochet!), but I wasn't a very good friend to her once she was moved away. My life has been so crazy this past year that I haven't kept up much with anyone, but I knew she was dying and I wish I had been in touch more often. I drive by the apartment where I used to visit her here in town everyday and I have thought of her daily and often since she left it...I have missed her so, and now I always will.
