It didn’t feel right to not acknowledge what has happened, but because her family are very private people, I won’t go into detail. My daughter Cordelia’s best friend lost her battle with brain cancer last night.

Cordy heard about it just after midnight. She did go over and see her yesterday morning before we left town so I’m happy for that. The days to come will be tough for everyone.

Some day I hope to write more extensively about Breese and Cordy and their friendship that spanned their entire seventeen years, but not today.

We are at my sister’s, made the six hour drive yesterday with no issues. Sid and I will go and see my parents as soon as we get dressed and ready. Cordy obviously had a rough night and she and Bella-Lena are still sleeping. It’s my mom’s birthday today.

I’m attaching two pics of Cordy and Breese, one is them as baby bff’s and the other is from two summers ago when we brought Breese with us to our family reunion down south.
