life long friends

So the world keeps turning ...my good friend Joan and her husband leave this week for Seattle.. they've had a few set backs ..She had the remainder of her lymph nodes removed from her arm and a drain able temporary catheter put in on Thurs. and then they leave this week they'll be gone for 2 years she'll begin her chemo therapy in Seattle.she's also been diagnosed with diabetes and now arthritis in her back..as my Mom used to say "it sucks getting old" Soo too those of you in your 30's and 40's enjoy.... because once you hit your 50's be ware ...life is going to sneak up on you and kick you in the pants.... and knocks you for a major loop...with endless drs appointments.....My prayers go with them we've known each other for over 18 years... they are more than good friends.... they're family
