Thank you to everyone who has sent me emails or left me comments about my friend's death. That means a lot to me. I ended up being able to go home over Memorial weekend for her funeral. As strange as it may sound it was a good weekend. Of course it was sad, but there was a great amount of togetherness that weekend. Our classmates got together on Friday night at her sister's house and by the end of the night our tears of sadness had turned to tears of laughter as we reminisced about high school and all of the trouble we got into...mostly because of Jill :)
Saturday was her memorial and her sister and best friend had organized it and did a great job of celebrating the person that she was the what she meant to different people. That night her sister had another gathering at her house. I got to see her husband and kids again, so that was nice to be able to show them support.
Sunday, we hung out with family. Went to the botanical center w/ my mom and grandma then grilled with them, my cousins, aunt & uncle over at grandma's. Monday we headed back.
As we were driving back to mom's after the bbq on Sunday night, I snapped this photograph. This rainbow was even more intense than the photo shows and such a peaceful sight!

God gives us miracles each and every day. It's up to us to realize they are there, amdist the busyness of life.
