Tues. morning.........

So sorry to hear about your friend ... but she went in her sleep and peacefully. You are sad she is gone but glad she is free of pain and went peacefully. I understand ... I felt the same way when my friend Gloria died a few years ago. 

Thanks Eileen........I appreciate your words and they are spot on!!

Thank you sweet friend.......it is a bittersweet day. Not sure how I feel, but definitely will miss this dynamo of a friend.

Aloha nui loa,

Karen

Karen....I am sadden about your loss of a friend. She sounded like a wonderful neighbor and friend. It was her time to go and she was ready. God rest her soul. You now have another angel watching our you!

Love, hugs and prayers, my very special friend.....connie d

Aloha Karen and my OFF family:

So good to see you this afternoon, Karen. My day is a little brighter today. Good friends make every day brighter. 

I'm off for the next two days and have no big plans. Probably will unpack a bit, do some laundry and hang around the apartment. 

Annette, good to see you again and that you are on the mend. Hope the spot on your lung is nothing bad. Between you and Joyce and John Stewart, there have been enough people in the hospital lately. 

Nan, good to see you back here. Hope you are doing all right.

Vickie, glad you're feeling better. I'm sure having Butch home makes all the difference. 

Connie, you sound a little perkier too. 

Me,  I'm just tired today, wrung out. Glad I have two days off to relax at home. Last night wasn't bad, but I was in pain ... we had rain and the temps started to drop during the evening. My body hurt a lot. I just wanted to go home. I think it was just my mood for the whole day, upset about the suicide of my friend. I'm glad I posted it about it, though ... it helped to get it out of my head and onto a forum or two, to discuss it. I wish my friend would have discussed her problems ... maybe she would still be here. 

Well, have a good day. 

Karen, Connie, Eileen & all who have lost a friend recently. I know how your friend felt. I have told my DH I want to go the same way.I have had a wonderful life & I want my passing to be the same.

Nan

Thank you Nan.......I really appreciate your perspective. I've been dwelling on this all morning, and finally have come to the conclusion that she went as she wanted to, and avoided all the Hospice for months that she dreaded.

I, too, hope that my passing can be like hers......just go to sleep and don't wake up.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Karen sorry to be coming on here so late but I am so sad to see that you lost you dear friend and neighbor!!! HUGS to you and hope you know my heart is sad for you....

Nan....thank you. The loses we feel are hard to understand at times that is for sure. Some how with the grace of God we make it through.

Nan....I too feel the same way you do. I keep telling people I am ready to go anytime. They just get mad at me. I just know that life will be better and I want to be there. I want to just slip away.......

Hugs and more love....connie d
