Hi, friends. I’m having a tough time over here. One of my friends passed away suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. His passing is not something I want to openly discuss on CNC, but I want to let you guys know since things might not seem super upbeat in the coming days, but I’ll try my best.
With that said, here are some pretty photos of my breakfast.
Kodiak Cake pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup.
Iced coffee with vanilla soy milk.
One of my friend’s favorite Dave Matthews Band songs was “Granny.” We used to blast it on repeat and jam out together. I always think of him when I hear this song.
Hello how are you doing today
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I’m so glad our paths crossed this time todayOn our way into the night
We find love it’s hiding here
In the darkness in the shadows
Maybe it’s up to you and I
To bring it to the light
Love when I approach the tears
They fall like rain
You tell me baby your hearts into a thousand piecesNow stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can’t see what I can, when I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing to comes my waySo here we are all of us stand around
We’re leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it that lies behind
The worried eyes of one anotherWell I believe it’s love that’s hiding here
deep inside both you and me.
Maybe it’s up to you and me to share it with the light
Love when I approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart’s into a thousand piecesAnd I stop only old and wise with clouded eyes
You can’t see what I can, cause’ I
Blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my wayI say it’s love that’s lacking here
Although I know enough to spare
Maybe you and I could spread it large and wide
Love with my approach the tears they fall like rain
You tell me baby your heart’s into a thousand piecesLove
Baby
Love
Baby
Love
Baby
Give your loved ones a big hug today. Life is too short.

Sending my :hugs: to you!
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend’s passing. Sometimes life hands us cards that we can’t explain but that change us and impact us so deeply. What has helped me to cope with death is being creative, writing poems or songs (because I’m not great at visual art). It’s a way that the beauty of someone’s life can be immortalized. Much peace
Hugs.
Sending hugs your way. I’m very sorry for your loss.
My condolences Tina. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss, Tina.
I find this quote comforting and uplifting:
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — myth is more potent than history — dreams are more powerful than facts — hope always triumphs over experience — laughter is the cure for grief — love is stronger than death. -Robert Fulghum
Dear Tina,
My deepest sympathy to you and your treasured
friend’s family and loved ones.
I too hope you take a few days off from blogging.
Most work places have bereavement time off and you
also deserve a few days of privacy and reflection
and whatever you feel you need to do to honour your
friend.
Take good care of yourself please!
I’m so sorry to hear this, Tina

I’m so sorry Tina. Make sure to give yourself a break w/ blogging if you need it…we’ll all understand. Also, I had never heard of that song before and wow…I adore the lyrics. Absolutely beautiful, like poetry.
Tina, I am really sorry for your loss. When bad things happen to good people the world stops making sense and can feel like a cold, cold place. Thinking of you.
Sorry for your loss. Sending healing thoughts and positive vibes to you.
Hi Tina,
That is also my favorite DMB song. Their music brings back so many memories for me too. I’m glad that you were able to find comfort in listening to your old CDs. I’m sorry for your loss.
xoxo
