Flying without Naomi

Yesterday a very dear friend died. Thinking back, all of my memories are of her laughing and making me laugh. I think about how she promised to make me an apron long ago and then one day gave me SEVEN. Yes, seven handmade aprons all different, all beautiful, and all mine. And every year after that she would ask me if I wanted another apron! AS IF! 

I will forever miss her laughter and her unique way of looking at things. My prayers go out to her daughter and the grandchildren she leaves behind. I also say a little prayer for me, selfish as it may seem, because now I will never hear her laugh again. And that is tragic. 

So my dear, friend, rest easy, laugh hardy and know that you are missed and loved.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.  Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.
