40 and freaking out!

It was a busy week. Volleyball line duty on Tuesday. My birthday Wednesday, football Friday. The passing of one of my dearest friends floored me in the middle of it all, but I am slowly building a support system here and my best friend was there when I needed her. Dinner last night at Mo’s and some crafting today. Needless to say, I came into my forties like a cannonball into the deep end of the pool. Until I can get adjusted to our new life I’ll just take it all one step at a time. Thank you to everyone that reached out this week for the multitude of reasons I needed you. I’m blessed to have such amazing friends and family.

My Dearest Julie,
You didn’t lose the fight with cancer, heaven won the fight to take you home. Now you get to stand tall next to Randy and your mom and watch over your best friends and dear family.
I know you know it but, thank you. Thank you for being the friend that always told me how it was and picked me up when I fell from grace. You hugged me and laughed with me and held me accountable for my mistakes. I will always love you for taking me in and loving me when I needed a home. We coached together and saw some great successes. We traveled together and saw some beautiful sights. You were there when Jillian was born and at my tiny 2nd wedding on the river. You were always one of the very first people I called to share my news with and my best coffee date buddy. Most of all we laughed and loved and always picked up right where we left off. You will always be one of my dearest friends. I know you were watching over me today to make sure my birthday was great. Thank you for all you’ve done for me and my family. Until we meet again Jules, I love you. 😘💔 #cancersucks.
