My friend dies today.

She may already be gone. On the plus side she will be away from cancer and all the struggles of this world. Rest in peace, my friend.

On the minus side I have lost a good friend who was a bit of a mother figure to me. I have lost a fellow writer. I have lost a kind, compassionate friend who was a boon to the world - she was a Christian minister who practised what she preached-- tolerance and acceptance, kindness and forgiveness.


She was a children's author of five books that sold well and were imaginative and fun. She was a fine human being.

And I will miss her.
