An unfortunate part of life you never get used to and always painful. My heart goes out to you and her family.

Hey AlEx, I too lost a very close friend about a year and a half ago, now this is gonna sound a little weird but a group of us got bracelets made up like the live strong type, in orange, "IN LOVING MEMORY" on the outside and her name on the inside, believe me it helps, I've never taken mine off, I miss her everyday, it'll get easier, give it time, it's not easy.

we had a crazy storm last few days...it was in the mid 40s..then 100mph winds then last night we got over a foot of heavy wet snow..nasty stuff. i went to work then when i got off started plowing...been a LONG day! had to stay at a friends house because we were without power for 20 hours.

woke up to this when there was nothing on it at midnight..

SNOW!!!

I just got off the phone with a friend who lives in North Dakota near the Canadian border.

He said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling.
The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force.

His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare.

He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.
