I'm reminded of the quote that says something like "A friend is the person who rushes in when the rest of the world rushes out" - these are the friends that touch our hearts in ways that last a lifetime. In my case it was more like the friends who showed up this week and shared a tear & a hug or two. There have been messages, emails, phone calls, visits, even flowers & chocolate. Each doing their part so I just didn't have to be alone in my sadness. And that is just me, the out pouring of love has touched each member of my family. It is inspiring and comforting to hear of the love & support being given. I am NOT a fan of country music (and tend to avoid it at all costs), but my Aunt (EJ's mother) posted this on facebook yesterday & it pretty much hits the nail on the heard, better than I can put into words myself right now anyway.
I am forever grateful for the love and support of good friends. The arms of love that have been extended & wrapped around my family during this time of extreme heartache has made all the difference.
