GNO

Last night I had the pleasure of going out with several of the girls that I work with. I was one of their birthday's, so we thought it would be a good chance to escape the pressure of work and motherhood and our wifely duties to have a nice dinner and a couple drinks. We laughed and cut up until almost 9 (I know right, we are rebels) then went home. It was so fun we decided to try to start doing it once a month.. So that is on the books, we are hoping to squeeze in a little GNO every now and then!
The girl that I share my office with lost her mother about 2 months ago. She was in the middle of moving into a new house and selling some lake property when she passed, so she didn't really slow down enough to process what all happened. She had encountered some rather rough times the past couple of weeks and I think its all stemming from the loss of her mom. I got an opportunity to talk with her about it this morning and I just feel terrible for her. She is an amazing woman who usually is the rock of her husband and son both, and now that she is needing some support and emotional guidance, they are at a loss and question every move she makes, and she is at a loss because her support is no longer around. I pray for her. That God will ease this pain and that he will help those around her not only learn to be there for her, but allow her the time that she needs to grieve this great loss. There is not right or wrong way to grieve, the point is that you have to! I am thankful to have family that is supportive and allows me to lean on them when I need to!
