Another Goodbye

..and yet again another good bye to a long time friend of mine who passed away yesterday of liver cancer at the young age of 57 . I will not ask why there is no answer . I will only be there to hug and comfort her daughters and my daughter . Her life is a testament of love , strength and determination for a woman who was a divorced and a single parent most her young life . She had her struggles , I am sure , but none like the last battle of cancer that has shortened her life so quickly . I don't know what else to write .

Life is but a stopping place ,
A pause in what's to be ,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Yes she had a hard life but persevered through it all .She had beaten breast cancer but the liver cancer sneaked up on her too
quickly for her to fight it. Louise had a pioneer spirit and always rose to the challenge .She is not gone just not there to talk to at the present time .Too many have been claimed by the big C in our time.
