Yesterday was N’s 8th Birthday… it’s also his weekend with his dad. That resulted in me already being in a depressed state prior to the phone call I received at 7:30am this morning…

A dear friend, someone I worked with every single day for over a year and shared many, many secrets with and spent many, many weekends on the river with passed away this morning in her sleep.

I’ve never lost anyone that I was close to that had yet to live their life completely, and my heart is broken. She was just 42. Cause of death is not yet known. She was a hard worker, an amazing confidante, a wonderful friend, and one of the best mothers I’ve ever known.

Rest in Peace, Char. I’ll miss you for the rest of my life.
