Must be the season for loss. The Bible says there is a time for everything so this must be the time for moving on. Saturday morning a man I grew up with passed on. This man was my dad's best friend. You hardly saw one without the other. I remember I learned my dirty jokes at a very early age by quietly listening to them. Don was larger than life. Treated me as if I were his own and I loved him as if he were my own too. Luckily, he passed quickly and quietly with his wife there. Moving on.
Monday, another passing. Just heard the news today. A woman I've known since I was 3 years old. I grew up with her daughters. Ran with them as a best friend. Spent my childhood running through her house as if it were mine. Talked with her, learned from her. She was a brilliant artist, sculptor. I remember her like it was yesterday. She was patient and kind and a wonderful mom. Her daughter tells me she went well and not to be sad as she is no longer in pain or ill so I will not cry...but I will mourn as I have lost two people from my childhood who meant a lot to me. Who had a hand in forming who I became as an adult, whether they know it or not. I loved them both and will miss them and mourn them. Moving on.
