To my friend:

Dear Lynda,

I talked about you in my counseling session this morning. We were talking about Chip and his health issues and how afraid I am for him to die. I’m sorry that made me think of you. After we found out about your cancer, it seemed we were more afraid then you were. A couple years ago, I was relieved when you started to really talk about your cancer. How hard the treatment is, how hard it is to be a mom and be sick at the same time, how Jay told you how afraid he is that he may have to raise your kids by himself.
I guess in a way I found comfort in the fact that maybe you are not so brave all the time.

It was great to see you at Christmas. I had never met Joshua. Oh what a beautiful child he is. And Whitley, Lynda, she is you all over again. You told Chip he was your hero. That you wanted to make it as long as he has. You two are such special people. How blessed I am to have loved both of you in this life.

Well here’s to you my friend. Thanks for some wonderful memories. I pray for as many more as God will gift us with. You are one of the most amazing people I have ever known. No matter what happens, you will always have a piece of my heart.

Love ya
Ronnie
