Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
I friend of mine died recently and it was so soon after my daughter died I didn't get the details, but she was only 72, and such a life force. She had five kids from two marriages, and she was the owner of the preschool my younger daughter went to when we moved here. She was my friend and supported me as I grappled with my Dad dying of cancer, not knowing anyone and my kids beginning new schools and trying to make friends. I was fond of her and our younger daughters became friends and occasionally classmates. We bumped into each other at Parents' Nights and events, and when her older daughter took over the running of the preschool and then her son, I kept recommending the school to people because it was so gentle, filled with music, swimming lessons at the local pool, field trips to a science place, really such a safe nurturing place to be. I hope her kids and grandkids find comfort in delightful memories of her, as I do. I'm taking time out to grieve for her and acknowledge her loss.
