Pluses and Minuses

Today I got more Facebook love. I was able to add some friends from high school. And then I got to learn more about their lives.

One of my friends lost her brother a while ago. She is a graphic design expert, and also endlessly creative. I saw her tribute to her brother through photos. I remember him, I remember how dorky he was in junior high, and how he started to grow up. I wish I had more memories, but it is what it is. When he passed, I was heartbroken, but I had no idea just how bad it was for her family. Looking through her photo gallery, my heart finally broke. Wow. All I can do is wish for peace for her family, and especially his kids.

Then I saw that another friend is fighting cancer. Cancer, really? We're all the same age! It can't be true! Apparently this is a kind of cancer that's really beatable. But it's scary. She's a momma to 2 small children. I will say my prayers each night for her.

When did life become real?

Yeah, I guess that I have no pluses tonight. I mean, I do, but they dive right into my narcissism. I guess I'm just glad to know that I still have friends. I hope they know that I will support through anything and everything.
