Jan. 18th, 2004 05:20 pmThanks and all my love to everyone who replied about my friend Sandra. The funeral is tomorrow at 10 am and I'm going with a number of friends - girls I've known since I was one, five, eleven - and we'll cry together and try to be there as much as we can for her family. Her younger brother is a friend of my sister's, so I think there will be some of her friends there as well.
And I wanted to add how brave I think so many of you are, those of you who told stories about losing friends and peers at such young ages, or losing close family when you were so young. It's never easy, no matter how old or how young you are, but there are so many situations that are more traumatizing and heartbreaking than what we, her friends, are going through - I think of her family, her mother and her brother who I know reasonably well - and all I want to do is sob for them.
So we'll pay a long shivah call tomorrow, and we'll remember Sandra with all our hearts and all our love.
