Yesterday was such a beautiful day here with church, a good lunch, lots of sunshine, and several hours on the beach…FINALLY. We even managed to watch the two NFL games…I really don’t have a favorite in this super bowl…and had just crawled into bed when we get a phone call telling us one of our life long friends had just died. To say we were shocked, and in disbelief, is putting it mildly. Bob and Carla have been special friends for over forty years…we’ve known them for over 50 years altogether.
Bob became sick yesterday afternoon with flu like symptoms but it must have been an aneurism, or heart attack, as he just died around 9:30. She found him on the floor. We talked with Carla this morning and she’s bouncing around emotionally and feeling guilty she hadn’t found him sooner as it might have helped. The EMT told her that wasn’t true. His funeral will be Friday and visitation with be on Thursday. We thought about going, but Carla said NO and we will get with her when we get back…she knows we’re in Florida. She’s still one of my two “bestest friends” and Frances is the other one…even though she no longer knows me. Love these two ladies and what wonderful memories we have. Life can sure throw you some crazy curve balls, but we’ll hang on to the memories as long as we have life.
Jerre, my baby brother, is still getting information about his cancer and how he’s going to be helped. We will never give up and continue to pray for his healing and complete recovery. Again…another curve ball.
Linda and Jim are loving Mexico and said it was absolutely beautiful. Sure hope they don’t drink the water! This would be a home run.
Guess that’s about it for now. We’re finally getting real Florida weather and LOVING it. We could almost say it’s HOT today but we won’t. The beach time was perfect and lots of people to watch. Glad it’s warmed up back home and you are all doing well. I’ll be back in touch soon.
Blessings….
