I wrote this yesterday but couldn't post it yet -

I needed Tiffany today.  Actually,  I needed her Monday - and the week just kept getting worse & worse for me.

Of course, let me start with the beginning.  I worked with Tiffany but during our time together (over 2 years) - we had developed a true friendship.  We were just talking 2 weeks ago about

I'm sure Tiffany would have understood your choices on choosing to be with your family. She had the biggest heart, and cared for everyone so much.

This has served to remind me how fragile life is, and to cherish my friends & family that much more.

Please keep me updated on your mom's prognosis. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

I'm finding that Tiffany had friends all over the country and each one had a very unique friendship with her. Each of us seemed to serve a different purpose

I know Tiffany would have told you to visit your mother

I know I made the right decision. My mother did need me that day.

The visitation and the funeral are meant to be your final goodbye's but I can even at the visitation I didn't say goodbye to her then. When I visited her on Friday - she was happy & feeling good - we told each other bye - I gave her a hug & told her I loved her - that was my goodbye to her. I will always remember her that way - not the way she was at the visitation - that wasn't Tiff to me.

I hope you're doing well. I have been overwhelmed by my grief - even surprised by it. I have to repeat that old saying - you never know what you've got until it is gone. I can't imagine your grief and am praying for you, Johnny & Corey. Tiff spoke so often of each of you that I felt I knew you. I'll always remember how she glowed at the mention of your names.

I only wish that Tiffany had know how much she was loved & appreciated - she really was. I don't think she knew that. I know I should have told her more often how much she meant to me.
