Day 81: Sad Day

Today I received the news that my very best childhood friend suddenly died. I don't know how to mourn someone whose so tightly woven into my own life story, nearly a member of my own family. Kazakhstan feels pretty far away today, and I want to use this blog post to reach out to friends and family that I love dearly to tell you all that you matter. I think of you all often and am grateful you are part of my life. Whether we meet again soon or whether it takes a while longer for our paths to cross, know that you are precious and you are loved. Today my eyes are full of tears for a lost friend, and those eyes are complemented with a heart full of gratitude for friends I have known, moments we have shared, and memories that will last a lifetime.
