Facebook Memories Has Me In Tears

I ran across this in my Facebook memories. It is from my best friend who has passed away. I miss her so very much. I often think of her. This was a reply to one of my posts about a year before she died from this exact scenario. We had so much fun when we got together. I swear to God, if we had met 20 years before we did, we would have ended up married. I never had a stronger bond with anyone in my life. God I want one more afternoon with you watching movies together. We will meet again, my dear friend.

“Knowing what I know now, you should not take your friends and family for granted because with the seizures I have now I could fall and I could be gone. I don't focus on that, just on the time I spend with people I love.”

Reason 2 it had me in tears, this is the only digital photo my Mom ever took. It was the only time she used a digital camera. We where at the Chinese restaurant next door to where we lived at the time. We went there about once a month. Every day of my life I miss her. I would love to play cards with her again or go out for a coffee with her. I also think she would have loved the person who became my best friend (mentioned above), but I met that person after Mom died.

I just got out of the hospital and a number of them where in charge of my care. They where all attentive and caring people. Yes, they do actually talk about people behind their back (I know 2 nurses personally), but when dealing with you, they are very professional and treat you with respect. To be honest, at least where I live, they are very overworked and I can’t understand how they don’t just loose their minds on some of the people the need to deal with. I have a great respect for them. 2. Do all nurses treat their patients well? Not always, there was one in a care home my mother was in, and she was a hellish person with the worst possible attit...
