Cindy this really touched me in so many ways.
I recently wrote an article about celebrating your life before you die, having a get-together when you are still well enough to be toasted and roasted before you pass on.
It makes so much more sense to do it when a person is alive, rather than the reverse.
I wish your friend could have imagined the joy she could have felt in getting together just one more time, with people who were dear to us.
None of us knows when our time will come, just that it will happen.
Pardon my blatant promotion. Its not something I would usually do.
