Thank you for your birthday messages :)
I was treated to breakfast in bed
I was gifted a beautiful cross necklace (which I have vowed to wear all the time), a bottle of nail polish and my daughter made me a very clever home made card
I was sang happy birthday on the phone
we went to McDonalds for dinner
it was a nice day
however it was also bittersweet . . .
The phone call I received as well as being sweet when my friend sang Happy Birthday to me
was also tinged with sadness
at 6.50 am
another friend lost her life to cancer
I didnt get to see her when she got it for the 2nd time
in ways I am now thankful for that
I remember her in the lounge room at church with a group of us gathered around a table learning more of the word from her
she was such a knowledgeable lady about our Lord
I remember her generously allowing us to share her family dinner when we popped in once because we were in the neighborhood
she was a quiet but wise lady
she is with the Lord now
He has given her that welcoming hug that I look forward to one day
she is out of pain
I will miss you dear friend

I'm glad that you had a nice birthday, but I am sorry to hear about your friend.
While it's hard to say goodbye, it's nice knowing that they are no longer suffering. It's a bittersweet moment. We just have to hold on to the good memories that they left behind.
I'm glad you had such a nice birthday - you will have to take a photo of yourself wearing the cross necklace and post it on the blog or on FB.
I'm sorry, though,about your friend dying, especially as it happened on what was otherwise a happy birthday. The good thing, however, is that she is no longer suffering. You would not have wanted her to continue in pain any more than I wanted it for Kate.
Happy birthday to you, Jen!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. She's such a sweet person and I know you'll always remember her fondly like you do now.
Jen, so glad you had a lovely day and be happy for your friend, she isn't in any more pain and you will always be able to honour her on your very own special day! Rachaelxo
