Breathe

Our dear Charlotte never shies away from difficult topics. She would not want her friends to tiptoe around on this one. She announced her terminal cancer diagnosis and then moved forward living each day in its turn. She told me she’d deal with it when she had to. Now, she is in her last days.

As much as we all would like to do something or say something to change the inevitable I am reminded of the advice Charlotte gives most often and we all need most now: “breathe.”

And then, we all know, she would laugh at all the drama and scold the dogs for barking.

With Charlotte’s family in my heart and thoughts today,

Laura

  8. Thank you so much for the post Laura. One of the first things I do in the morning is check the blog for any news...so sad this time, but a welcome update. I have been an avid reader/stalker of the blog and feel, like many others, that Charlotte has touched my life. She and her family are very much in my thoughts xxx
