In Memory of My Friend

I want to dedicate today's post to the memory of my friend. I have been spending my free time the past year and a half with either my sister or my friend, Heidi Vaughn. And I just don't accept that she is gone from my life so suddenly. If anyone has a direct link to God's wisdom, please enlighten me. I know all the usual answers "everything happens for a reason" or "it was her time". But I will not accept that in this case. I know in my heart that she had a better purpose to serve on this earth, in her home with her son than up in heaven. I also know that I will miss her "good morning" IMs and I'll terribly miss our days spent scrapbooking together. And our lunches at McAlister's ... she loved their Chicken Tortilla soup. And our traditions we started this year: the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Nashville in the spring, the QVC 24 hour Silver Day on March 1st, and our Christmas photos of our children together in the mall. We were supposed to go to Archiver's this weekend and scrap/shop/sleep late all weekend. And we wanted to take our kids to Disney World together someday. All I can do now is remember the smiles and laughs that we shared. I miss you already my friend! I hope you have peace.
