Loss, Confusion and Moving Forward

Thursday Night, November 9th, I received the news that a dear friend Eric had passed away from complications caused by cancer. He will be missed by so many who knew him.

I met him in 1993 and with his mom, brother and his encouragement/friendship, I did get back on my feet. I actually started enjoying life again. David got to meet Eric back in early September on a Sunday afternoon before the wedding. Memories of Eric are hitting me in waves and I will never forget him. 

I worked the long Friday and was so thankful that I am off work this week. I am still emotional, but I am moving on because I know Eric would want his friends to keep going on with out him.

Saturday, I worked a Holiday Bazaar at St. John's Lutheran Church and had a really good day. Tiffany came down and between the two of us we both shared PartyLite and Origami Owl with other vendors, and our customers.

It's been rainy and damp today here in Tennessee.
I have not accomplished much other than laundry, baking cookies, picking up chicken for lunch/dinner and getting things ready for the week.

As I type, my hubby is dozing while the Titans game is on TV.

Now I need to pack and clean up the kitchen so that is marked off my list.
