Time Is Short

Tonite I got a call from  a college friend who has  cancer.  Things have accelerated in the past few weeks and the news did not sound good.  She mentioned to me that she had to get a "lot of stuff done" and soon.  She then went on to say she had to redo the kitchen, etc.

I am so proud of my friend.  If that was me,  I think  I would put my head under the pillows and the kitchen be damned.  I would like to think I would get everything in order but is that ever done?  And why should I do it if I am not going to be here to enjoy it? 

But that's my friend.  She always thinks of others and has been that way most of her life.  She is amazing, has a  heart of gold and I am proud to know her and call her my friend.  I wish her every happiness and the time to finish all of "her stuff".  Knowing her, I'll be long gone before she is.
