Hi everyone! Hope you're having a better day than I! Well technically the day ended b/c it's 5 in the morning but I never went to sleep so whatever. I was having a wonderful lazy Saturday... I was in bed on the computer and watching tv and my husband came in the room and asked where my phone was. I told him I wasn't sure and he said I needed to get it because there was bad news (he was talking to someone on his phone). My first thought was my grandfather which made my heart sink. He's 83 so I know the day is coming but I still don't want it to, ya know. Then I could tell Justin wasn't talking to my family so I asked what it was. He said they found my friend (from MS), Richard, dead a couple hours before. It didn't hit me at first I just hopped up and started looking for my phone. He kept asking if I was ok and I just kept repeating "What do you mean?" I finally found my phone and saw I had a billion missed calls. Justin was talking to my best friend Jessica's fiance on the phone and told him thanks for calling while I called her on my phone. She said they weren't sure what happened yet.. it looked like an accidental overdose. There was nothing around him that he could have taken so they just aren't sure. I asked her if she was ok and she asked me if I was ok, other than that I don't remember the conversation but then we said I love you and got off the phone. Then it hit me and I started crying like a baby and got in my husband's arms. I cried for a while and then started calling everyone I had missed calls from. My friend Ashley came over to help me feel better and since then I've just been in bed and don't know what to do. I'm waiting to find out the details so I can tell my work I'll be missing to go to the services. I wish I could go tomorrow (technically today) but if I have to miss work later this week then I'll have to catch up on stuff tomorrow so no one gets mad at me at work. It feels like a dream that I can't wake up from. I've had friends pass away when I was in high school but they weren't best friends and I was so much younger..... my grandma passed away and my great grandma but those were expected and we were prepared for them, or as prepared as you can be anyway... this is just unexpected and heart breaking. We've been friends since elementary school and have stayed friends this entire time. He's been such a big part of my life even since I've moved to TX every time I go back I get together with my best friends from high school and he was one of them. He's an amazing photographer and has taken all of the pictures I have of Justin and myself. He was such a great person... very caring and tried to help everyone, had a great sense of humor. We lost someone wonderful here on earth but God gained an amazing Angel for sure. Anyway.... Sorry, just needed to "talk" about it a little I guess. I've got a freebie for you and I'll leave you be :) It's just some word art I was playing around with, 2 separate ones. Here's the preview:
