Happy Birthday Erica


She would have been 36 years old today. She passed at the age of 12 from cancer. She was my childhood best friend.

There are no coincidences.

I feel truly blessed to have had the chance to have known such a beautiful soul here on earth at such a young age. Although sorrow in her passing she left us with an acceptance that was so innocent and pure, I will carry it with me for as long as I have my memories. Her faith and trust in God poured out from her like a light that will never go out.

Today my HP sent me a gift.

Over the past year my daughter made a friend through a camp she attended last summer. They have become very good friends. Today this little girl celebrates her 12th Birthday.

The significance of this is that my daughter has not really had a friend to whom she has grown very close to over the years. I know that friends come and go and I have no idea what the future holds. But, thank you for today and thank you that she has found a close friend to share some of those childhood secrets with. The giggles, and laughter that echo from their sweet little hearts.

Life continues on and I humbly ask that I continue to see with a quiet and grateful heart. These are the things I see now that my mind is not polluted from a disease that was very prominent in my everyday life.

Sending you all loving support always

M
