My very dear friend, Cari passed away today, due to
complications of pneumonia. We went into the hospital on the
same day and I came home. She went Home.

I feel so terrible for her children, since they visited me
while Cari was hospitialized. My kids also visited Cari, as
well.

She was so beautiful and full of life--I cannot believe she
is gone. She had been a model when she was young and we
could talk for hours about clothes and shoes, although she
was much more focused on picking out what she was going to
wear on any giving day becasue--well, she had been beautiful
from the get go. I don't think she ever had an awkward stage
and I know for sure she never once in her life just threw
something on to run to the market!

I will miss her terribly but not as much as her three children.

And I (it's always about me, at heart) am having just a
problem...why her? Why not me? She was admitted for some
routine tests, contracted pneumonia and (I think) H1N1 and
was gone, peacefully in a matter of day, surrounded by her
children.

Oh, Cari! I will miss you so and true to your creed, I won't
spend a lot of time if-only-ing life.

Heaven welcomed her with much rejoicing and open arms. We
who are left behind will just have to wait because she
always said that she would be racing over that Rainbow
Bridge with our pets.

So if you have a moment, please give thanks for her life and
her legacy. She was the epitomy of a GREAT friend.
