There is nothing I wish more for K than to have a happy life, a loving home, a supportive family and a few best friends to go through life with. I've been blessed with all and don't take a day for granted.
A few hours ago, I lost one of my best friends. All of a sudden, God figured it was time to take her to Heaven. Lynn was the very first person I met when I attended a new High School here in CA after moving from Ohio at the age of 16. She asked me to sit with her and her friends at lunch and we've never been apart since (except for her "brief" move to Ohio while I was in college...). She was my first friend to have a baby and that beautiful baby is my Goddaughter, Kendra Grace. Lynn supported me through the trials of infertility and now our journey to adopt -- as she, too, had been adopted. I know she loved me. She never ceased in telling me so.
God bless you, my friend, and may you rest in peace. I may shed tears now but I am comforted in knowing that you are with Him and I have another Angel in Heaven looking over us.

Hi Laura, I'm also very sorry about your loss. Your positive outlook and attitude about life even when it's incredibly difficult and seemingly unfair is so refreshing and appreciated. I know you'll be a tremendous support for your God-daughter during this difficult time and I'm sure that provided great comfort to her mother.

Laura, What happened to Lynn? What a sadness to deal with; I'm so sorry.
Laura,
I am so sorry to hear about Lynn, she was such a lovely person, always ready to listen and encourage. Her friends and family will miss her, but she will be watching over all of them. Tracey
I'm so, so sorry about your friend. I'm sending you a big hug... hopefully you can feel it through cyberspace.
Thanks for all your wonderful supportive messages while we were in China. It meant so much to us. I can't wait to follow your blog to Russia, and to introduce Kavanna to your "K".
Again, I'm sorry for your loss....
Laura, I'm so sad for you. I'm still dealing with the loss of my dear brother, I know the pain you must be in.
I'm so glad that you have faith in our Father. It is definitely a comfort knowing Lynn and Taylor are with him.
God bless you, your friends/family and your God-daughter.
