It's like...Oh dear, this post, those pictures. It's like bringing an intimate person back into my life in a heartbeat.<br /><br />Jeff gave her that nickname, as he has done for many others.<br /><br />She used to roll into my bedroom when we lived with my parent's with streams of sentences flowing out of her mouth with no period. Jeff would sit back and chuckle. She would say, "Jeefy-Joffy, what's WRONG?!" As in, "Don't you get it? This is something to be EXCITED ABOUT!"<br /><br />Everything was something to be excited about with Candace, unless it was something to be emotional about. She modeled for me how to live, how to live care freely, and how to live true to myself. <br /><br />I could never have learned that in high school, which is why, in my belief, she came into my life right after.<br /><br />Cannot post more. Tears are beginning to fall. This is personal. She was one of the closest people to me, and I'm not sure many others will share that space in this lifetime.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411297827506831362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32368604.post-83457592724996811342011-03-15T09:38:36.713-07:002011-03-15T09:38:36.713-07:00what a touching post... my heart aches for you. I...what a touching post... my heart aches for you. I can really sense your loss and love. <br />I did my last blog post about some house re-do projects, then woke up the next morning to the tragedy of Japan and I thought to myself, seriously? who cares about my chalkboard re-do? what is really important in life? It sort of puts things into perspective.Mariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404204520610700913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32368604.post-84593784369422243312011-03-15T08:18:22.679-07:002011-03-15T08:18:22.679-07:00Yes!

The only thing that we can rest in, is that GOD is good. That he has it all in control. That he loves us. That he understands the pain and why it is necessary, even if we don't. <br /><br />Thinking about you and praying for you today. That you'll find comfort and rest in HIM even in the middle of the pain.JuliaVPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271117915778501369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32368604.post-66798719949002503922011-03-15T06:49:45.748-07:002011-03-15T06:49:45.748-07:00Thinking about you Erin.Thinking about you Erin.LauraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322568136833382134noreply@blogger.com
