In my dreams's blog: "Friends"

The past few days have been really hard for me and you've all been great, extending love and support. It really has helped a great deal. I haven't been on here as much, just trying to keep myself and my mind occupied, feeling kinda lost right now. and with everything that's going on, it's been really hard not to reach for a cigarette, but I'm doing good with that. I know that there are a couple of people that I owe some help with the contests they are in. I'm sorry that I haven't been quite up to that. Somehow I'll make it up to you. I do have the greatest friends! Love to all!!!

Today I received some very sad news that a very dear friend of mine passed away. Mary has been a big part of my life for the past 7 years and has been there for me thru a lot of tough times and helping me with my business, packing plants for shipping. On May 20th, she told me that she had been diagnosed with lung cancer and was starting treatments. It was just like her to not say how bad things really were with her so people wouldn't make a big fuss over her. Right now I'm in shock over it all, don't know how to come to terms with knowing that she won't be there to talk to anymore. No matter what the problem was, she was always there to listen. Mary, I'm going to miss you so much, we all are. I love you.
