Sleep well my friend

Ugh I am sick this morning. A long time family friend has been battling cancer for months. She rang the bell when her radiation was done. . . but then things got worse with just chemotherapy. Like she rang the bell a month ago. I was informed yesterday that she was put on hospice. That hurt me because she had just rung the bell and her personality was HUGE. She lived just 1 block up the road from the house and would come over sometimes to have drinks and enjoy a summer evening. So she was put on hospice yesterday and passed this morning at 3am. A friend/neighbor and I were texting earlier. She said she was so upset that it happened so quickly. My response was that it was difficult to determine if it was a blessing or a tragedy that she went so fast. I tend to think that it was a blessing. My friend said that my text/response was perfect. It is hard to lose people we love but I think a quick passing is the best way to go when you know they are dying. So today the sun is shining but the world isn't as bright without our dear friend.
