I was almost asleep when my blackberry vibrated on the nightstand next to me. Earlier in the day yesterday, I had finally tracked down a couple in Cape Town that I dearly love. I have missed them so much and hadn't seen or heard from them in 6 years.
I know, six years, right? But it seems like I just saw them yesterday. So, I emailed them to see how they are doing and I got an email from the husband tonight so happy to hear from me. He was sorry to tell me that his wife, my dear sweet friend Molly has passed from breast cancer. He said he lost her five years ago.
Five years ago!!! How is it possible that she could be gone and I didn't know? It breaks my heart to know I never got to tell her just how wonderful she really was before she passed away.
I can't stand this. Time is just slipping from me these days and five years feels like five months. I keep thinking, with another friend telling me recently that she only has about three years to live that life is moving too quickly. I wonder, do we get used to this?
