In Memory of a Dear Friend

A number of years ago I made friends with someone that lived in PA. She was a divorced mother of 4 who had a really big heart. Always there to listen when needed. She never judged and genuinely cared about people. There came a point in my life where I was very much alone. It seemed doors were being closed on me left and right. One day she suggested that I listen to a little known song by Matchbox 20. I listened and fell in love with the song. I would play it over and over and sing along with it. It was not until about 5 minutes ago that I realized I had been taking the song wrong. My friend was not just trying to say she understood the feeling of being a "Hand Me Down" but, she was telling me I could lay all my troubles down and she would help.

Sadly I can't reach out to her and tell her I appreciate her offer. She passed away in her sleep last July at the age of 53. Since we had discussed life after death many times, I am sure she is watching over me when I need that extra guidance. So tonight this song is in memory of my friend Sue Dejamenic. I know God has welcomed you into the light with open arms.
