Death
Today a dear friend died, I have known him for a long time. I moved into the ward when I was two and a half. He was a very talented and active man. He was in his 80's, and last year he reshingled his roof. He was awsome. I saw him at church yesterday, he gave me a hug and he seemed fine, and then this morning he had a heart attack and died. I just couldn't believe it. It seems so weird. Death is so funny one minute your fine and the next your dead. Its like my grandpa. He went in for a surgery and was doing great. I went to see him afterwards and things seemed fine. Then things just went down hill. We were told he had about 6months and he was dead in a week. The weird thing is, is that we don't have a clue when we are going to die. That jsut freaks me out. At least if I died tomorrow It would be good, I have nothing to feel bad about. I have been making sure that I am doing what I should. Any way. I just want to tell all of my friends that I love you, and I am glad that you are my friends. I am glad that we hang out and have fun. I never thought that I would have a lot of friends, and I think I have a ton. I know every time I write about my friends none of you respond, but I just love all of you and wanted to thank you for being a part of my life, and sticking by me through this last year. I couldn't have done it with out your love and support.

Heidi-I don't respond because I don't want to be the girl that assumes you are talking about me. Secretly I hope that I am everyone's favorite friend.
I respond to you with a squeeze every time I see you. And, secretly, I sniff your hair when I do so. And you smell good everytime.
You're great, Heidi! It is so true about death. Seize the day and don't be shy to let your people know you love them. You're really good at that...love ya right back!
I love you Heidi! And I wish I would be ok if I died tomorrow but I am afraid I would have too many regrets. I guess that means I reallly need to get busy taking care of some things and remembering to live each day the best I can. I am lucky to have friends like you who make living life a little easier and more fun. Thanks for being such a great example! And ditto to what kelly said, you do always smell good. What's your secret? ;-)
