AGAIN

6/15/19 -- This year just hasn't started off all that great and here we are, in the middle of the year, already.  My birthday is in 3 days, and I am dog/house sitting.  I don't mind doing that, as a matter of fact, I enjoy it.  What sucks, is the fact that, and other death, has happened.  This time it was a long time friend of mine.  She was an older woman and we have been friends for a long time.  We had a falling out, a while back, but were able to reconcile here not too long ago, of which I am very thankful.  
  I found out about her passing, on facebook, again!  I say, again, because this is like the second or third time that I have found out about a death via facebook.  Anyway, I inquired as to what caused her passing and the reason given was leukemia.  She was diagnosed only a month ago!  What a quick passing!  I wish I had taken the opportunity to see her one more time.  There were a number of times that I thought about stopping to see her or messaging her to see if it was ok to stop by and visit plus I wanted to see her new kitty.  I never did contact her to see about visiting.  I am sorry that I didn't, but I can't dwell there or feel guilty about it.  It doesn't stop me from feeling bad tho.
  There will be a memorial service for her on June 29, at the church that she attended and I attended some years ago.  I am definitely going to that.
  That woman had a unique personality and we got along great, for awhile.  When I was going thru my dark time, we had a falling out and hadn't seen each other for quite a long time; then all of a sudden, I saw her at the grocery store, and talked and she invited me to her apt for lunch, and that was the last time I saw her first cat, Chance, and as it turns out - the last time I saw her.  I am ever so thankful that I took the opportunity  to reconcile with her, God knew what was coming and opened the door for us to reconcile, and I am so glad the I walked thru that door.
   I expressed on facebook that I have had enough of death!  I know that I have expressed that here, a number of posts ago, so I won't repeat myself.
