The last person to comment on this blog was Laura. In fact, Laura was 3 of the last 5 people to comment on this blog. Laura’s support has meant so much to me, always. We’ve been friends for such a short time – only really since last September, after following each other’s blogs for much longer. At the time, I wanted so much to reach out and say or do something for this person, yet a stranger, who I felt I knew so well, as she poured her pain and sadness into her blog. But it was Laura who first reached out a hand of friendship to me, and I am so glad she did. It is so long since I have just connected with someone so easily and completely as I did with Laura. I am so thankful to have known her, for however short a time. I am so thankful for her night-owl tendencies – we got to know one another via IM, chatting deep into her night-times. The last time we talked, only briefly, was Thursday night… and it was I who was heading off to bed, at 11pm my-time – it was 4am Laura-time, and she was still trying to decide what stash to buy at the Needlecraft Corner sale! I never did find out what she decided…
Laura, I’m so grateful to have had your light in my life these last months. I’m so terribly sad that light has been extinguished so prematurely. I will miss you deeply.
