I usually don't do posts about individual people, I wouldn't want someone to think just because I don't or haven't posted about someone that they are not as important to me, they are. I do have to post about my friend Robin today. I haven't stopped thinking about her since she called on Thursday morning.
Robin lost her mom on Thanksgiving. Robin's mom has been battling Cancer for the last 5 years. Robin's mom was actually in remission but still doing Chemo Therapy. It seemed that when she was off of chemo the Cancer would return so they thought it best to keep her doing treatments even when she was in remission.
Robin's mom had been struggling with breathing problems the last couple of weeks. She had an inflamed pullminary artery between her heart and lungs. On Wednesday she went to the hospital because she was struggling breathing , Robin was able to be there for a few hours before her mom passed.
Robin and Mark went home for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, they hadn't been home for Thanksgiving since they've been married but decided it would be a good idea this year. I am so glad she went. I am grateful she has been with her family all week long and has been receiving so much love and support from them and friends.
I wish I could do more for Robin but I don't know what to do. Robin is such a good friend to me. She is definitely one of my best friends. (BFF, we love to joke about that) Our friendship has grown so much in this last year. I love Robin, we can always talk about everything, she is always there for me even when I am not at my best. Robin always listens to me even when I talk about the Jazz and basketball although I know she has no interest in that whatsoever. Robin and I love going out to eat or going to get desserts, just running errands together is fun with Robin.
Robin does so much for me I wish I knew what to do for her right now.
I borrowed this picture of Robin from Robin's facebook. I didn't want to have to go through our CDS to find one.

What a difficult thing to go through. I'm glad she has you!
I love Robin, too, and my heart just hurts for her right now. She is so much fun to be with and just a kind, sincere person. I am glad that you two are close (both in friendship and geographical proximity!)
That's such a cute picture of Robin. I love her new glasses--they are so stylish and fun.
Great post, Diana! And don't worry about just posting about one person. It's your blog, and you should feel free to post whatever you want. That's what I think, anyway!
PS-I stole your "Cutest Blog on the Block" link! Hope that's okay!
Thank you so much Diana...I just got home, and saw this as I am getting ready for bed. I really wish I knew better what to say, but your thoughts and friendship mean so much to me. It just really boosts me up. Just...thank you so much for being there for me. (: *blog hug, hehe :)*
Robin is lucky to have you. It is hard when someone we love loses someone they love. There isn't much we can do, and feeling idle is so hard. Be her friend like you are- it sounds like you are doing just that from her comment!
Sorry to hear about Robin's mother. Since we lost my grandma this week I can relate to a little of what she might be feeling. The only comfort to me is knowing that my grandma was sick and now she doesn't have to struggle with that. She is now free from her mortal body and can enjoy what awaits her on the other side. Robin sounds like a very good friend to you.
