Say Hello.... Say Goodbye....

Wow... Today has been... I just don't know how to describe it. With hello's and goodbye's

First I want to apologize because I can't even wrap all of today's events around my head.
So If I'm not making total complete since I am sorry. But I know you will understand.

• Len's cousin Lennie....

In 1987 (?) i think was the year. Helen Len's mom cousin came over from France. We finally got to met Simone and her daughter Martine. We would talk on holiday's and things Helen would share letters with us too.

But today when Len came to bed at 1-ish her told me he had a friend request from Lennie.
We lost touch with them after Helen passed away in 1999. In 2000 they sent letters that kept coming back "return to sender" and the same with us. Each Christmas cards would come back. So I was surprise by what Len was telling me this morning. Picture this...

• Hug Len
  
• Smiling so big now (both of us)
• I grab me phone JUMP on facebook.
• Go to request to be friends with him .
• And then begin to read a few emails that I got.
• I was wide a wake at that point. LOL.... so off to the living room I went cause I know I wouldn't fall back to sleep. TV on.... and watched a movie.
• Yeah sleep happen at 4:30 up at 7.
• So at 9:19 this morning I got a IM (on FB) from Lennie and we chatted for a bit. I call Len at home to tell him to get on line too. So this Sat we will all Skype at 10 and Say Hello. What's great is All our cousin are still alive.
  



• Long time old friend...

As I wrapped up conversion with Lennie. Mark walked into the office. Mark worked with Len at Circuit City years go. So it was great to see him. WE talk allllll the time on FB and Mark has missed a few parties due to work.
I went to Woods coffee and we all sat in Len's office and laughed and drank coffee.

So again Say Hello.


Say Goodbye....

• As I was just leaving to get coffee. Jen text me with sad news our friend Becky passing away last night.

Becky was one of the funniest and amazing person I've known in Wa. I met her in 2000 when Jen was pageant with Jake. She is Jen oldest and dearest friend. They go back to grade school. I think 1st grade. Just think.... your 39 and you have this amazing friend since 1st grade past. You are like 6 in first grade. And you went all though school together. You have seen each other though the good times and bad times. You watch each other take a partner for life & have kids too.

Myself I don't have any friends from my school years in my life. I have friends I have known for like 30-32 years but not school. Becky was 39. She passed 4 weeks 4 days before her 40th. She was diagnosed with this blood disease and for the life of me I don't remember the name of it. But Becky lived much longer then all the doctors thought. So in a way she was so young but with her will to fight and love she lived longer then anyone even thought.

So like I said... Today on my miles of smiles I was given good news and sad news... But on the sad side Becky is in a better place with God and out of pain. She was in and out of ICU for the past months and months. She came home on Sat and Jen asked to to take Jake on Thursday for the next few weeks because Becky need 24 hr care and Jen wanted to be by her side.I will miss you my friend.

On a personal note.... Becky was a person who would tell you not to cry for her. If she was sitting next to me she would hug me... tell me it ok to cry. Don't feel bad or sad for me. I had a good life and got more then I even thought. I was loved and I give love. BLESSED I AM!! But I am finding it hard not to shed a tear now and then. To feel sad and hurting a little for her love ones and Jen. Jake told his mom today this..."Mom you had 30+ years with your BFF" as he hugged her. He took it hard at first but as I've been talking today with Jen the boys are better. (Jake & Matt)

So I am asking all my friends who read my blog please say a silent pray for Marty & Karessa. For they lost an amazing wife and mother today. And to their family....

Say Goodbye.... :'((
Live life to the fullest....Laugh as much as you breathe.... Love likes there's no tomorrow....

Peace out my friends... leelee<3
