It's been a tough week for my friends....one had her son move away from his home, her mom's heart is breaking not just for herself but for her grandchildren also. Another friend had a funeral to go to for a 4 year old---like she said no parent should have to bury a casket the size of her coffee table. Another one has found her marriage of over 20 years falling apart. Just wasn't a good week, but we will all make it.

We are camping for the rest of the month, it's so nice to go to camp after work and RELAX, even though we are commuting and still working it's just much more relaxing to come home to a campfire and let the world go by for a few hours.

My friend Julie has visited me, in the form of a dragon fly this week, it's so comforting to know she is here by my side from heaven. I see her and my mom in lots of little everyday things, it's a wonderful feeling. Do you know what I mean? I hope so, cause it gives me hope that no matter what those important to me are never really gone.

Karen, I will enjoy reading your blog. And for now on when I see a dragon fly, I too will remember your friend.

Love you,

Karen,
You are awesome. And your blog will be (is) awesome too. Thank you for your constant prayers for our family - I hope you know that God also hears many prayers for you and your family. It's hard for you not to be with Shannon - I know that from walking in the shoes.
About Julie - I am sure that she visits you often. It's what friends do - despite the fact that we are miles (or kingdoms) apart. We're always together because of the connection of our hearts.
God bless you, Karen. You are a wonderful person and a true blessing to me.
Love to you,
Sue
