The New Year
Tonight I said goodbye to one of my dearest friends. She left this world on New Year's Eve after a hard-fought battle with ovarian cancer. She was my friend, my teacher of many things and one of the most amazing people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. The first six months I knew her, I wasn't sure what to think until she told me one day that if she spoke abusively to me, it meant she liked me a lot. We were very close after that. lol
I'm 67 years old and this is the first close friend I've lost like this. There have been mates of friends that have passed, but not friends. The funeral was difficult for everyone, especially the family, and I couldn't stop the tears. A little over a year ago, she accepted Christ as her Savior, thus assuring that we'll see each other again in His Presence. I miss her terribly.
Also at the end of the year, we found that Deputy's wife is leaving him. She says she never really loved him as more than a friend. She wants their son to stay with Deputy as she can't handle him. I feel completely betrayed and broken-hearted. She really had me fooled.
So far, I'm not too happy with 2015, but the good thing is it has to get better. Please say a prayer for me if you feel like it. Thanks.
