Goodbye My Dear Friend

Today is a very sad and hard day for me. I lost my dear friend Penny to a battle with brain and thyroid cancer. She is the friend that approached me at my daughters 21st birthday on my Aug 27, 2016 blog. I held true to my promise to her and prayed for her every night since 8/27/16. It’s hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and many people ask that same question. Penny was a great person that knew no stranger. She would give you anything she had that you needed and not think twice about it. I know that heaven gained an angel today and Penny felt that way also because she told me about it on several occasions. My emotions are all over the place today. I am sad that I lost a good friend, but happy that she is not suffering any longer. I’m scared because she and I found out our news about the same time and I can’t help but wonder what lies in store for me? I’m trying not to make this about me, but until you have been in this situation, it’s hard to not have negative thoughts cross your mind at times. As I have written before though, “You can’t be strong all the time. Sometimes you just need to be alone and let your tears out.” I took a brief moment and felt sorry for myself and then I picked myself up by my boot straps and said to myself, “You are still in great health and now you have an another angel looking out for you and she’s gonna do everything she can to talk to God and keep you in good health,” So with that being said, God bless you Penny and I never missed a prayer for you and you’ll always be remembered.
