Last night it occurred to me that there are other people from our group of high school/college friends who probably had no way of knowing what happened with Kristi, so I sat down with my address book, and started with the yellow pages and search engines to find people I haven't been very good about keeping in touch with.
All of us at this point have been touched by death. But this is the first time that it's one of us.
I've made all the usual vows, how I'm not going to let so many years go by without calling, and I'm going to hold my kids tighter and tell the people I love that I love them ~ so often that they get tired of hearing it. (And I figure that will last until I get my next cell phone bill.)
*** According to the NaNo website in order to add a Buddy you have to use the Author Search feature. The "Author Search" feature may not always appear because they take it down in times of high traffic to keep the website from being overwhelmed. I haven't been able to see it for about ... three days. And this in spite of looking at such seemingly low-traffic times as 2 a.m.
But this is to let everyone know that I do intend to add you if you aren't added to my Buddy List.
If you are having a similar problem and want to add me, you can find me here.

Oh! nano time again! Can't wait for the story! *wink*
One of my best friends from high school was the first one of 'us' that I heard that died... it's just a throw back over a lot of years. I believe it is by God's plan that we are so shaken by death that we renew our vows to live! (((hugs!)))
how many were you able to find?
We had a couple in high school who did a murder-suicide thing while we were in high school. It really shocked all of us.
I added you on NaNo.
In the big city one of "us" is always dying, from grade school, so WE get used to the most important fact of life---you start dying the moment you take your first breath
That's sweet. Good luck this year with NaNo!
I'm so sorry about your friend.
Do people ever really get tired of hearing that someone loves them? I know I don't.
