Note to Birdgirl

Birdgirl, I apologize for not writing sooner. Life sometimes gets in the way....

I thought of you this week while at the mall. I saw a license plate that said "BRD GRL". I'm not sure if it meant Bird Girl, but I'll stick to thinking so.

You are a true inspiration to everyone you know by tackling school, and taking on such a challenging goal. You're quite a lady!

I want to tell you how sorry i am for your loss. Your sister was so blessed to have the love and support she did have during her life.

We are experiencing a similar situation in my family, and we are trying to be strong and as full of love as you are for your sister.

I wish you the VERY best, and hope that you and your family continue to do well. Feel free to call on me if I can ever be of help.

Onward!

Thanks for your sweet message, Onward. I'm so sorry you're experiencing a similar situation. That's heartbreaking. If a death can ever be characterized as good, it is that way when the dying person is surrounded by loving family, friends and support. I knew Bess would have done the same for me. Good luck with getting through that situation personally. It's rough.

You saw a license plate that said BRD GRL? How funny! I wish that had been me, but I don't have vanity plates. Just regular ole mixed letters and numbers I can't seem to remember for the life of me. I know somewhere in the mix there's a Z and a 4.

You take care of yourself, OK? Much love to you!
