I was so thrilled to go see Beth in April! It was my wonderful husbands birthday...and for his birthday, he wanted me to go see Beth. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing husband! I can't say enough about how much it means to me that for his birthday, the gift he wanted was for me to be happy and have this time with Beth. I was elated to go see Beth and touched beyond words that Jeffery cares so much for my friend and values the friendship as much as I do! Our visit was priceless and I just wanted time to stand still for a moment. Laurie flew out from Atlanta too and our visit overlapped which was incredible...God has blessed me with the most amazing girlfriends and I don't take that for granted. While in Seattle, I was surrounded by the wonderful friends that God has brought into Beth's life...each one was just incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed this time with them. I shed more than a few tears over this long weekend...tears of joy, tears of laughter and tears of sadness. So many emotions, all swirling together. I spent time with Beth's family...my extended family...talked, laughed, cried, laughed, talked and cried some more. The girls had some hair and make-up time...somethings you never outgrow! :) I didn't want to say goodbye...we are so far apart - coast to coast. I treasure every single minute of this time with Beth. For whatever time God gives Beth, or any of us, on this earth, I am truly thankful. For the eternity that He gives us, I am both humbled and awed at His Grace. Thank you, God for my incredible friend...she touches my heart and is a tremendous gift to me...Bless her with your presence and Grace as she fights this battle with cancer...be ever close to her as she relies on your presence and love each day.
