My holiday cheer was stabbed to the bone by the sudden -- and impossible -- news that my dear friend Bonnie was found dead. Just lying on her couch. We had talked and texted just the day before.
Now, acutely mindful of the random moments that make up our life, I am looking forward to Christmas dinner at the home of my best friend Phyllis. She always takes the time and energy to decorate with such fabulous taste and flair. And, her company is a match for it all.
So, the passing parade marched right up to my door this year. My hope is that I will be able to curse the darkness and emerge with hope, laughter, and love.
Oh Joan. I’m so sorry. That’s really hard.
