Last week was full of such highs and lows, heart break and heart ache. Trying to process it all and it took a toll.
I lost one of my closest friends early in the week. It was a shocker. When her son called me I literally had to pull over on the side of the road. Her passing was peaceful, it was in her sleep. She’d lost her true love 2 years ago and I comforted myself by knowing they are now back together as it was meant to be. They had a wonderful relationship, a true love match. You know, the kind you grow up thinking you will have too?
And then we have the “Coldplay” video Jumbotron – yup – “oops”, we just “got caught” video. Maybe his wife thought they had a love match? Maybe she knew there was trouble in paradise, or maybe she was just as shocked and embarrassed as I was when that “oops” knocked me off my feet after my former spouse was discovered to have been unfaithful.
Two extreme ends of the marriage spectrum.
So what’s the high of the “highs and lows”? Knowing my friend is at peace in a better place and even though I’ll miss her terribly, she’s with her beloved. The other situation, I wish I could reach out to her and say “You will get through this, one day at a time, one foot in front of the other”.
I’ll pray for both families. They’ll both need them.

Lynda, i’m SO VERY SORRY to hear about your good friend’s passing! Knowing that they’re together forever gives you some sort of peace knowing the sweet couple. About the jerk who got caught… not feeling a bit sorry for getting caught in the act! He truly deserved to be busted. I too have been praying for his wife and their kids!! No matter how old they are, they will never forgive what he did to their Mom!
