Death Surrounds Me

Another very close friend lost her father this week.

Unlike my other friends who recently lost theirs, her father was older and been experiencing poor health the last few years. In fact, my friend and I had spoken quite a few times about this possibilty. She knew the reality. So, this wasn't unexpected.

Still... Losing a parent, whether expected or not, must have a profound impact on your life. And, my friend is the only child.

Today was the funeral and she spoke.  It's interesting how all three of my friends spoke at their father's funeral.  And, all did surprisingly well. All were very close to their dads.   I'm just getting home from the service... reminded of how precious life is.
