Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I hate hearing the telephone at 3 am. It never seems to bring good news, only bad. I lost another friend this evening. That is 3 in the last 22 days.. one to cancer (she only lived 3 weeks after diagnosis) and two to Lupus (one to pneumonia, and tonight .. renal failure). Death humbles you and makes you realize just how fragile life can be. After putting down the phone, I went outside on the deck to just sit for awhile. It was raining.. just soft misty warm rain. It helped to wash away the tears I shed for my friend and her family. When I came back in, I went into the bathroom for a towel to dry my hair. That is when I noticed the tiny droplets of rain in my hair. It looked like someone has sprinkled tiny sparkles all over my hair. My friend who died tonight loved to wear sparkles on her skin. She called them fairy footprints. In the rain drops, she gave me one last gift.. fairy footprints in my hair. She always did make me smile.
