Today I called your Mom, as I had she...Dear Rachel,<br />Today I called your Mom, as I had shed some tears, and thought of so many funny, happy times with your Granny and with Thomas, and of the 6 of us: Thomas and Bernyce, Herman and Bobby, Lewis and me --I am the last one standing. I feel a great loss and also a prayer that there are 5 best friends who will be giving me a hand in my journey when that time comes.<br />It makes me so happy to read your rememberance and love for Bernyce, who befriended me when I was a bride of 17, still a child, although I thought I had reached maturity and welcombed the friendship of Thomas, Bernyce, and "Aunt" Simmie, and felt that your Mom and Cindy were part ours, too. Our closeness never deminished in all the years, even tho we saw very little of each other as time passed into older age. <br />I am so glad that I called Becky this morning and she told me of your blog and I got to read your wonderful thoughts of your Granny. It has been a great life in so many ways, and I miss by buddies and especially the one I lost in November. Someone helped him over, and who knows, it might have been his good good friend.<br />Happy birthday to Josh, and thanks for letting me share.<br />Love, Ann CarpenterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
