Missing You
18 Dec
Oh, blog friends. Thank you for being such a supportive bunch. I feel like lately all I’ve been bringing to the blog is bad news and heartaches. But sometimes things all happen at once. Thank you from the bottom of my lobster heart.
Yesterday was a tough day. I couldn’t hardly concentrate thinking about Turley. I think the reality of her death really hit me. I didn’t know I’d be this affected… I tried everything to keep my mind off it. I went out with friends last night – and it really helped.
We still don’t know what happened to her. Needless to say, I’ve been drowning myself in tuna melt sandwiches.
Tuna is like lentils for me. Ultimate comfort.
And you can’t forget the pickles.
I was thinking about the last time I hung out with Turley and found a series of pictures. I hope you don’t mind if I share them. I think they really show what kind of life and spirit she had. What a spitfire she was. I’ll really miss her. She made more of an impact on my life than she’ll ever know.
These next two are my favorites. I have no doubt we were talking about the crazy adventure days at the newspaper. That place was like a second home for a long while, despite the madness that surrounded it.
I love this one.
We also bonded over our newly-purchased Blackberrys. She didn’t give me crap about checking email.
Missing you.
I think a couple friends and I might get together next week over Christmas and have drinks in her honor. I think that’s what she would have wanted most.
I can’t stress it enough – tell the people you love that you love them.
I know I love all of you.
She was really beautiful and looked like she glowed full of life. I am sorry for everyone’s loss, but know that all of the great things you do will carry on a little piece of her!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. I had a friend who passed away on Christmas Eve, and around this time of year, it’s always a little difficult.
I love all of those photos, Rose. Thanks for posting this. Ruelens sent me a bunch of Turley photos, too, and I have some on my old hard drive.
Hugs to you, Rose.
**major hugs and support, alwauys**
always*
(((rose))) I’m so, so sorry. I lost one of my best friends over 10 years ago and it’s so hard to lose a friend so suddenly. I hope you get to hang out with friends and share good memories and enjoy some company.
I know nothing we can say can really help, but really – if you need anything, let me know.
<3 Stay Strong. Things will be ok.
Thinking of you Rose – losing a friend is always hard, especially when they have a big impact on your life. I lost a really good friend suddenly in high school and I still remember how tough the first couple of weeks were. You’re in my prayers.
Love you too Rose
I love the pictures, the happiness in them in palpable.
Oh my dear, I’ve missed your past few posts. My heart aches for you, and I know it must be so hard. I will keep you in my thoughts and send you a ginormous hug to you through the blogosphere. Just remember to breathe. XOXO
Wonderful pictures, and thank you for sharing. I am continuing to keep you in my thoughts, and I hope that you experience some holiday cheer very soon
I’m really sorry for your loss, Rose.
What beautiful pictures. She was lucky to have you in her life, darling– don’t ever forget that.
p.s. I’m a HUGE fan of tuna. and a HUGER (heh) fan of PICKLES.
Remember, everything happens for a reason and people come in and out of our lives for a reason.
And don’t forget to smile

I am so sorry for your loss. This is your space and use it how you see fit , even as an outlet for grieving.
You and your friend are in my thoughts.
I’m so sorry to hear this news Rose! Stay strong!!
You’ll be in my thoughts. xoxo
