Glad to be connected to you via the e*b course. Good stuff.

A year ago I lost a dear friend after a 2 year bout w/ brain cancer. In the end, it wasn't the cancer that overwhelmed her body but some "unknown" most likely brought on by the agressive treatments she had undergone.

You are so right about appreciating relationships for the length of time we have them. I find myself so often taking for granted the people dear to me and have to stop and remind myself to value them now.

After my friend went to be with Jesus, I battled regrets for days...then came to peace with the knowing that she has now joined my great cloud of witnesses and cheers me on from there (she was such an encourager to all of us!)

Anyway, I really appreciate this post as I have been reminscent of my friend over this past week and relish the day when I will see her again along with all the others who moved to heaven ahead of me.

Blessings,
Heather
