for the past week I have been walking slowly though life. One of my first lung friends passed away. I grew incredibly close to Caroline over the past couple of years. We shared ideas, rants, raves, concerns about our husbands, our parents, my kids. She would often talk me off a ledge when it came to waiting for scans. But she also knew when to let me vent.
From the time I met her I knew we had a special friendship. One thing she wanted to do but we didn’t get the chance was to introduce our husbands. Neither of us are ready to leave them and both of us know they are going to need extra supports. But we never got to it. Life happened kids activities. Don’t worry Caroline I will be there for Steve if he needs or wants it!
I am glad the weight of this horrible disease is no longer wearing you down. But I am so incredibly sad we didn’t get more time together. In the short time I knew you I learned so much from you! And I can’t thank you enough!
This past weekend you gave me the biggest honor in our friendship. You asked me to say a few words at your memorial service-you don’t know what that means to me! Thank you for entrusting me. I love you Caroline! Thank you for everything. I hope you are up there waiting for me (with my dad) when my time comes.
