Its not the greatest of pictures, but can you see why she is so special? Its from a picture of Sydney and her youngest son that is one of my favorite pictures. She had it made so I can have Sydney with me everywhere. I'm still kind of at a loss for words to say how great she is and how very lucky I am to have a friend like her.
Oddly, it was a reasonably good day all around. I got some nifty goodies while at a customer.

So, um, yeah. Its a pig. And a keychain. And a coin-keeper. And a pirate.
And because I actually needed them....

Some new USB drives.
Now this last one, my customer actually
gave to me.

Don't hate me because I have an R2D2 backpack and you don't. I can't help it.
All of today's goodies aside, it really is starting to get easier. I don't cry every day, or each time Sydney's name is mentioned. Once or twice I'll tear up here and there, and at least my eyelids are no longer peeling from all of the crying.
People are coming out of the woodwork with support. Last week I got a surprise package from two of the Friends of P gals,
Becca and
Kristy, just because they were thinking of me. It was filled with super stuff. Check it...

Some handmade stitch markers (not sure which one of them made them), a little folding scissor (which I actually need!), some alpaca sock yarn (oh, so very soft, and in my favorite color too - GREEN), a nail file/ruler, sock blockers that Kristy
made. She needs to sell them.

A super-rockin'-awesome little sheepy notions pouch, and a bag from Loopy Yarns.
Tell me I didn't feel special. You'd be lying.
I've gotten an amazing amount of sympathy cards, e-mails, PMs and comments from all over the place. Thank you guys. I can't say how much it helps to know that I'm cared for and that Sydney was cared for. I want to hug each and every one of you.
