| ABOVE IS MY BEST FRIEND OF GROWING UP, SHE IS ON THE RIGHT, BLACK SHORT HAIR AND HOLDING THE BIGGEST BOUQUET OF FLOWERS, ON HER WEDDING DAY, SHE WAS VERY SICK THIS DAY. WE HAD NOT SEEN EACH OTHER FOR 30 YEARS, AND WHEN SHE CAME HOME, IT WAS LIKE WE NEVER WENT IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, AND WE LEFT RIGHT OFF WHERE WE PICKED UP. JUST NATURAL, WE TALKED, DID THINGS, SUSAN PROCTOR WAS HER NAME AND SHE HAD A DISEASE CALLED SCLERODERMA, AND THEN SHE HAD OTHER BAD THINGS AT THE END, WE BOTH HAD PAIN AND UNDERSTOOD EACH OTHERS LIVES,AND WHAT AND HOW WE WOULD LIVE OUR LIVES OUT. SUSIE I CALLED HER STILL, LIVED IN CALIFORNIA AND SHE HAD TO GO BACK, LATE OCTOBER 2010 TO CALIFORNIA. WE TALKED AFTER THAT, HER HUSBAND TO THE LEFT OF HER PETER, IS FROM NEW ZEALAND, THEY HAD A BOND LIKE NO OTHER, AND DEARLY LOVED EACH OTHER. I LOST MY FRIEND SUSIE FEB 5th, 2011, RIGHT BEFORE HER 55TH BIRTHDAY, I MISS MY FRIEND SO VERY VERY MUCH, I WISH SHE WAS HERE TO TALK TO STILL, ABOUT THINGS NO OTHER ONE KNEW, AND IT WAS JUST US. LIFE IS TOO SHORT, IF YOU WANT TO TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM, YOU BETTER DO IT NOW, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO SAY GOOD BYE FOREVER, AND IT HURTS DAY TO DAY, BUT YOU KNOW THAT FRIEND IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE, OUT OF PAIN AND LOOKING DOWN ON US. SUSIE WAS A GREAT DAUGHTER AND LOVED HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS VERY MUCH, IN THE PICTURE IS PETER, HER HUSBAND TO LEFT, HER SISTER KATHY TO THE LEFT AND BEHIND HER BROTHER STEVE, AND OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT, HER BROTHER JOHN. I MISS SUSIE EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY,, SHE LOST HER FATHER A YEAR BEFORE SHE PASSED, AND I KNOW THEY ARE UP THERE TOGETHER, SMILE MY SWEET FRIEND, AND NEVER FORGET OUR TALKS, WE STILL TALK, JUST NOT THE SAME. ONE THING I AM THANKFUL FOR SUSIE DID GET TO SPEND A COUPLE MONTHS WITH HER MOTHER BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, SHE ADORED HER MOM, VICE VERSA. I FEEL SUSIE WITH ME AT TIMES WHEN I AM IN THE BARN, BRUSHING A HORSE, FEEDING THEM, ETC. AS SUSIE HAD HORSES TOO. SUSIE PASSED IN A PEACEFUL WAY WHICH I AM GRATEFUL, SHE JUST SLEPT AND IT WAS TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE. |
