A week ago today a close friend of mine lost her 7 year old son in a tragic accident. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child. I remember receiving the message from my friend saying that her angel Landon had been involved in an accident and was dying. I had to read the message several times and even still, it didn't seem real. I later received a message saying that they were taking him off life support that evening. How heart~breaking! That was the night I cuddled up to my own 7 year old and held her tight all night long. I didn't sleep well... I just couldn't stop thinking about my friend and what she must be feeling. The funeral service Monday was a beautiful tribute to her angel. I was so amazed by my friends composure... she is by far one of the strongest people I have ever known.
Penny has been such a good friend to me... I wish that I could somehow return even a portion of the love she has shown me over the years. We've only known each other for about 8 years, but have been through quite a lot together. She was my temple escort when I went through the temple for the first time. She was there for me the night Matt left. She was my shoulder to cry on and my constant source of strength throughout the entire divorce ordeal.
Penny and I were meant to find each other I think. We had been friends for a while when we discovered that we each had been praying to find a friend. My prayers were answered... she truly is a wonderful friend. I love you Penny!
