My friend Natalie (Natla) has been such a blessing to me. I lost my mother one year ago yesterday and Natalie knew weeks ago that the date was approaching. She asked if I wanted to do something that day so that I wouldn't be sad. She and I and two other girlfriends (Syl and Tanya) got together and it was a blessing.

Nothing will ever take away the sadness of losing my Mom but it is nice to have friends like these.
