I think I have two issues going on here. Saturday we lost a wonderful and sweet girl scout sister. She was such a great girl. It breaks my heart for her and her family. I made her an arrangement covered with girl scout swaps, badges, and cookie prizes which I will take with me to the visitation tomorrow night. I wish I could go to the funeral, but I don't do well with them and that has to do with the second issue I have going on. This is bringing back horrible childhood memories of loosing a friend of mine when I was 10 yrs old. She was a church friend. We had gone to Six Flags with the church and had ridden all of the rides together and shortly after we returned home she was crossing the street and was struck and killed. I still can remember the funeral and how she looked and what she was wearing and even where we sat. I don't fault my parents at all for taking me to the funeral, but I really feel that is why I can't attend funerals to this day. I can't even attend a family member of a friend (that I didn't even know's) funeral. I am not allowing Brooke to go to the visitation or funeral, but she hasn't even asked to go. I just didn't even mention it to her. I did tell her about Elizabeth and her accident and she helped make the swaps for the flowers. I am going to go to the visitation tomorrow and together Darinda and I are going to hold each other up. We can be strong together.
