She and I had known each other since we were 15 years old in Catholic school, waaaay back in the late 70's and early 80's. She was only two months older than me and had just celebrated her 54th birthday last week on the 17th. I called her today to see if she received the DVD I sent her through anazon, and her aunt answered it.
I knew right away that it had to be bad, because there really wasn't a reason for her aunt to have her phone.
She died last Tuesday morning, and there is no word yet on why. I think it was complications from her diabetes; she'd been on dialysis for several years.
I'm devastated in a way that not even the deaths of my mother and older brother could affect me.
She was always there for me, no matter how bad I felt, and understood me better than my own mother did.
She didn't even live long enough to retire!
I'm ticked off, grieving and completely devastated by this.
