It's not always about you...
It's time to be a grown up.
It's time to do something I don't want to do. Put my petty feelings aside and just be there for my friend.
Her daughter is dead. I got the call this afternoon. I haven't spoken to her in a while, but we used to hang out a lot. We were in the PTA together (her twins were in Alex's grade. In fact, her son is an Alex as well, so they were Alex D and Alex B) and we used to make fun of all the "PTA" moms and roll our eyes during meetings. So much fun. She's such an awesome person.
And now the worst thing that could possibly happen to a person has happened to her. Her daughter is dead and her son is an only child. That poor boy. Poor Alex D :(
I will be there for her tomorrow. I will dress up, be prompt, and offer whatever help I can. Then I will stay and attend the funeral of a 12 year old girl, even though every part of me is screaming that I can't handle it. I know I can't.
But I have to.
For my friend.

You can and will handle it. Because that's just who you are.
Hugs for everyone touched by this.
Well we talked about all of this stuff last night. I just wanted to check in on you and give you another hug. Muah.
Gabrielle was our neighbor and my daughters very good friend. I am still crying but getting stronger daily. She was a VERY special child. She will be missed.
