2011 was getting off to a pretty good start...then tragedy struck. Last night I received a text from a very dear friend who moved to California many years ago. J requested prayers for her mother. Her mother, whom I've also known for years, was a vibrant, energetic, and very healthy woman who rode her bicycle hundreds of miles each week, went to the gym regularly, ate well, and was the last person I expected to hear of having a health related problem. I called J immediately and found out her mom had fallen ill and was in the hospital. Within an hour of that call she was gone. No one still knows why. If you are the praying type, please hold J and her family in yours. And everyone reading this please take a moment to tell those closest to you that you love them, or appreciate them, or make them a peanut butter and banana sandwich just out of the blue, because nothing is guaranteed in this world, and the healthiest person you know could be gone in a heartbeat.
And just for the record, I love you all.

Great advice. And, for the record- you are much loved as well.
Thanks, Rickbert.

Right back at you m'dear!
I am the praying type and I will certainly send one out for poor J and her family. Love all around.
Thank you, Janet. Welcome to the Corner. :-)
I would gladly make you a peanut butter & banana sandwich any day. I would even add bacon to it.
