This past weekend had been a rough one for me. I learned around midnight on Saturday that my very best childhood and longtime friend lost her 21 year old daughter on Saturday morning in a tragic car accident. The heartache this has caused has affected so many people. The family is based near Mackinaw (about 20 miles south) in Michigan and the accident happened there. My friend and DH now live in Chicago due to his job. She called me from the road and I could only listen to her sobs and heartache.

Through Facebook we have been together all weekend. She seems to be better though what is better, my heart is broken for myself and for her family.

The one thing that I have been able to do for solace is come to DK to read and check on friends and their lives to make me smile.

The other thing that has happened is my Daisy has not left my side. She has come and put her little head on my lap so many times and looked up at me with those big brown eyes as if she knows. She and my husband have been my comfort along with all of you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful place everyone.

Lisa, I am so sorry.  What a horrible thing to have to go through.  I do know what you mean about your Daisy being there by your side and also having DK to go to for a smile or laugh.  I was doing the same thing a few weeks ago while sitting by my mother's side for 16 days until she passed away.  This truly is an amazing place to belong and amazing friends and Doodles!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes....this is exactly what I was talking about when I say this is a wonderful place to be a part of.

And yes Daisy truly is a comfort.

I am so glad you have Daisy, I am so sorry for your and your friend's loss. How terrible, you have my deepest sympathies...

How tragic.  I can't even imagine the pain she must be feeling!  I'm glad to hear, though, that you've been able to find some comfort during this horrific time.

What a horrible loss, I am thinking of you and your friend's family

Keeping a good thought for you and your friend in this terrible situation.  May Daisy continue to bring you comfort.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Tell Daisy that she is doing a good job to watch over and comfort you!  Keeping all of you in our prayers!

So sorry to hear this, my heart goes out to your friend and her family.
