Your friend would say you should be at your granddaughter's singing recital. It will be an opportunity to make memories and that is what life is all about, memories. Your friend holds a special place in your heart and your memory and I am sure she would not want you to have missed this recital. Your friend knows you are praying for her and that is the greatest gift of all.<br />xo Catherine Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945906301035526440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-3459075561944237862014-11-23T15:00:55.952-08:002014-11-23T15:00:55.952-08:00We made the right choice, dear friend.

I share your angst on having to choose, but knowing you, you showed your friend over and over how much you valued her while she was living. Knowing that doesn't erase the pain of not being a part of that memorial service, but she would celebrate your being there for Anne Marie.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-21032056280879475372014-11-20T15:13:51.384-08:002014-11-20T15:13:51.384-08:00I really like Sandra's response.
