Reflecting

With the recent passing of yet another friend, it has me reflecting on the other friends who have passed. I'm so grateful for the friendships I have had, even those that were made during times when I was making what I consider now to be poor choices, or as I'd like to also think learning experiences, and yes even those friends that still live or lived a different lifestyle than I am currently. Stephen and I are also lucky (or maybe unfortunate?) to have mutually shared friendships with a couple of them. I have been positively impacted by all, and I miss them all for different reasons.
I don't have pictures on my laptop of all the friends that have passed, but the couple that I do have I am going to post.

May angels lead you in...

Of course it also has me thinking about my dad, anything to do with death reminds me of the huge hole in my heart because of his passing. I feel like he deserves his own entry though, coming soon!

And also, I am reflecting on all the relationships that are still available to me. I am lucky to be surrounded my such amazing people! I have the greatest friends and family! I need to be better about telling them. So here's a start.. thank you all for your love and friendship, you all mean so much to me! I would not be the person I am today without any of you, and no I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I like who I am most of the time. ;) No matter how small a role you feel you've played in my life you are important, and I thank you, you will truly never know just how much you have done!
