le sigh...
I am so far behind in posts and responding to posts that I know not where to begin.
I guess start with the difficult.
My last post seems to have been disturbingly poignant. Friday night I got 'the call'. The forewarning of the previous week did nothing to cushion the blow. I think the news actually caught me by surprise, as silly as that sounds.
She was an incredible lady. And one that I will always regret not getting to know better. But in the last year she has taught me alot. How to truly be there for someone in need. Not for how it makes you feel or in some empty, nebulous offer of 'whatever you need'. But in concrete selfless ways that require absolutely nothing of the recipient. She also showed me the triumph of the human spirit and how beautiful a human can be.
Wisdom and grace is how I will always remember her.

no subject
If it is any consolation, it is no easier for those of us here that are closer. The only comfort I have is that I was able to visit with her for a couple of days during the last week. Pam was one fine lady, and a friend par excellance. I will miss her greatly.
I miss you, too.
Love you lots.
