At dinner Hubby and I were talking about aging and I mentioned that I didn't know if my best friend in junior high and high school was still alive. A few years ago she had written me to say that she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and was determined to make the best of the time she had left. We didn't communicate after that because her ability to communicate was compromised.
Today I searched one more time to see if I could find out if she was still alive and found that she had died in April at the age of 76. A distinguished nursing professor and researcher, mother of 4 and loved wife and sister and my dear friend.
I hold her in my heart forever.
