You Are Loved.
A friend died, I know because her daughter texted me asking if they could use the card I made for her obituary notice'...
It would be an honour, I replied, through tears.  

I met Joanne through her husband Tom - we made the bird houses together.. and I also met their son Adam..
She always thanked me for keeping Tom busy, for being kind, for befriending them, every call.
 
I'm full of mixed emotions & struggling, to be honest.  
When Adam died -they both were heart broken and both had a difficult time but their families helped them through. I also felt especially bad because I thought psilocybin would have helped Adam, but too conditioned by a bullshit system and fear mongering by our government, I was afraid to offer him some, I regretted it then & still do *BUT, it also made me decide to never again, withhold information when I believe it can help someone.

Then Tom died and Joanne went through a series of emotions - anger, sadness, pain, sorrow & I could understand them all, we all can.  It was difficult for her to go on.  

You know, we don't always know some people for long - not like friends we have had for decades but this does not mean people don't make a lasting impact/impression on our lives and in our hearts.  I especially had a bond with Joanne after Tom passed and she was a strong woman, I was envious of her courage & tenacity.
 
She called to ask my opinion on a couple of things, one was taking a trip to Nunavut - I said: GO!!!
You deserve it!    She did, with her dog.  She shared other stuff, some of it... unpleasant, I reminded her - yep, 
that's just how it goes sometimes, humans behaving badly.. let it go and rise above & she did. She had a wonderful adventure in Nunavut - sent me photos & I wanted to help her celebrate & remember - mostly that: She was loved.
Now she is missed by her remaining family & grandkids... and me.
​
It was pleasure it was to know you & call you friend. 
I'm so happy you liked your card.  
I knew she liked it, but didn't realize how much. 

Thank you Lord for the introduction & Lessons.  
My heart feels heavy, I think it's time for a break.
​
Joanne is with God & Jesus.... Tom & Adam.
