This means so much coming from you. You’ve helped raise my girls and so many others over the years. We are grateful to have you and so proud of the relationship we have maintained, even though we have made you LOCO on more than one occasion. Thank you for sticking with us, and by us, all this time. You will always have us as well. We love you, Mrs. Christ!!

You are a talented writer and I agree with so much of what you say, except the parts about liking cake! LOL! Miss you and your family but I hope everyone is enjoying summer, like me! 🙂

Yeah you do. You are definitely familiar with unfinished business, in more ways than one. You have always dealt with things in such a positive way. No matter what it is, you go positive and it exudes from you. It’s infectious. Much of my attitude as I have gotten older is because of the things I have learned from you. #NoJoke.
Love, me

I wish I could make little heart emojis with my keyboard, but I can’t. I’m sending them your way though…always sending them your way. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me these last few weeks. I learned quite a bit about life and love.

That’s the “Red Carpet” I was talking about! You get it That’s exactly it. That’s the way to go. I’m so sorry you lost your friend, I know how bad that sucks. Sucks BAD. I love how you found the silver lining though. Makes me happy to have you here, Kathy. Thank you for being a part of this. You so get it.

All I kept thinking about during the funeral was a family reunion and/or a friend reunion. I want to be with everyone that is important to me right now. I get it. I’m happy you have a reunion coming up so you can make the most of all the great people in your life. I know for sure they are lucky to have you, and we are too. Love when your name pops up. You always have SUMthing insightful to say and I appreciate it so much.
XOXOOX, R

Just a few weeks later, I heard she finally succumbed to the cancer that I had already known she was fighting. Since then, I’ve made a point of at least trying to let people know what I like about them, what it is about them that makes me proud of them, the positive effect they’ve had on me and/or others, and so on. (You’ll notice I’m not mentioning negatives. That’s kinda important.)
There’s a big family reunion coming this November because, as the cousin organizing everything said, my father isn’t a spring chicken anymore and is the last survivor of his generation. One never knows if there will ever be another chance to let someone know how much of A Good Thing they are in one’s life, or to hear that story they always promised to tell you but always forgot to talk about, or to quietly share how they hurt you at some point (but that you have hopefully forgiven — or at least chosen to overlook — the episode). Unfinished business sucks.
Good post, Robyn. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

She knew for a long time she was dying but never would admit that to anyone including herself. She lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every minute of it. A week before she passed, she was in the hospital for a few days and then home on hospice. It was a constant rotating door of family and friends visiting and saying their goodbyes. I can’t think of a better way to go. She got to see everyone that mattered in her life, one last time and she relished every moment. Blessings to your friend that lost her dad.
