Hi! It's Marnie. And Amy has inspired me to make a long overdue appearance in my scrapbook. Thank you, Amy. ♥
It has been a hard month here. My dad is very ill. My friend just lost her mother. And one of the first friends I made in college is dying. I have spent many tearful days scared and worried. Our family's prayers have become ever more fervent, imploring, and beseeching. Emotions here are raw and fragile.
When I read Amy's post, I knew I wanted to write about this time. I wanted to write a bit about how overwhelming it is to face losing a friend that is a peer. I want my kids to know that I feel pain, sorrow and fear. For the most part our scrapbooks are filled with happy times and silly moments. But I am a believer in being authentic. And vulnerable. I want my people to know that. So I must be that. And because my scrapbooks are my journal an honest page about this difficult time seemed like a good thing to do.
Thank you for letting me share with you.
