I can't sleep tonight yet I should be able to. My Guy is in the next room snoaring lightly; healthy and here. A dear friend is not as fortunate. Last night she and her guy were home and within maybe a two hour time span, she lost him. He passed away very suddenly. No illness; no health issues. Gone. Like. That.
Last night I could not let My Guy go. I listened to him breathe. And tonight, I wasn't sleepy but I crawled under the covers to just hug him...but I can't drift off. My heart is so heavy for my friend.
Only a month ago, I received THE perfect birthday card. It's all about laughing. She knows I love a good laugh. I thought I'd post a couple of GREAT pictures. One a few years old, the other just last week.

and then just last week....I get this:
... on my cell phone!
Two friends that probably DID fall off of their chairs.
And so my wish for you is:
We simply must live in the present and my blogging friend, Linsey has a beautiful
message about doing just that.)
Live well and laugh hard my friends!!!!
