Think Pink

I'm having a sad, contemplative day...I learned that a friend I hold dear has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She doesn't live near and we're not in frequent touch, but I love her. I don't know much about her condition other than it was detected early and she's having surgery tomorrow. Dan and were just talking about her this past weekend as I read him tofu recipes (she and her husband are vegan) in hopes of inticing him to not eat as much meat...They're a family that is always in our hearts but we don't often do a good job of just calling to say Hi or emailing...it goes both ways and they're never far from our thoughts. It's hard to hear such news. It's the kind of news that makes you want to wrap your arms around your friends and whisper confidently that everything will be fine. (and it will by the way...). It's hard to be far away and want to say "anything you need"...because you mean it and you'd be there if you could...
