oh Kathy,
there is pink cloud or lack of it and then there is just reality (which of course also includes pink clouds or lack thereof). and reality is you have limited time.
and i have only "known" you here as the person alwauys giving your time, energy, encouragement, light, to others, and imagine it is challenging (starting to hate that word) to pull back on that a bit because you just cannot be there everywhere, and dates are limited.
i was thinking about it yesterday in terms of reading, since i read a lot. if i knew i only had a few months....how would i decide what to read???
how do we make those decisions?
wouldn't be surprised if your friends haven't all really accepted the reality yet. yep, the brother can take Uber. if your friend can't "get there", it is her limitation.
what a gift, your faith. what treasure.
