Grace is what I need right now. This is a lovely card sent to me by a dear, dear woman I met in New Zealand, Ailsa, neighbor of dear, sweet Wendy. I was moved by the beauty of it, the soft silk/satin fabric, the simple word, Grace inserted behind the ribbon.Tomorrow I leave for England. This is not the trip to England I thought I would take someday. My dear friend Lynn, the woman I've know for 0ver 40 years, her husband died Friday, doing what he loved - playing soccer (football to those in the UK). My first reaction when I heard the news was, I have to go, there was no question in my mind or my heart. So I am. I will carry Grace with me and strong shoulders, a loving heart and wide open arms.

Bless you, Lesley. Safe travels!
Life seems full of losses, but also full of love. The grace to share your love with a friend after your own loss is indeed grace-full. Godspeed. Kim G

Lesley, I am so sorry that your friend suffered such a loss. But I am so glad you are going----not only to be with her, but for her to be with you. Your loss will enable you to comfort her as her presence will comfort you. And may Grace be the thread that strengthens the fabric of your spirit during this special time.
Blessings to both you and your friend Lesley...

Your daughter, Samantha

Thank you so much for sharing your story...It touched my heart and please know I feel your loss.
Love to you.
Lesley, I just found your blog and wanted to send my regards and well wishes. Sounds like you've been through it lately with your mother and now your friend's loss. I wish you strength and comfort.
safe travels Lesley. It's crazy how what should be a quiet time to refuel yourself - is filled with refueling others. Best to you and your freind.
