Lifetime friends

Today I am so proud of a dear friend of mine. She found out a couple of weeks ago that she was seriously ill. Now she's had corrective surgery, and is dealing with it all like a champ. She's so brave and so matter-of-fact with the whole situation. Unfortunately she lives far away, and I cannot be there to hold her hand but it's comforting to know she has people who love her there. And the best I can I will be there for her in mind, with emails and contact. I'm so glad that she is sharing also the bad times with me. And fortunately the prognosis for recovery is good. My very good friend, a heroine.
