I went to visit my dear friend, Penny this week.  She is fighting to stay with us and we are fighting to keep her just a bit longer.  When you’re with someone you love who doesn’t have much time left in mortality, you begin to look at things a little differently.  Actually, a LOT differently. That is one of many gifts Penny has given to me.  Watching her love others unconditionally has taught me to love more freely.  Hearing her repeat, “Well, I can’t take it with me” has caused me to look at stuff in a different way.  Watching her share everything she has has opened my heart.   I am grateful to Penny for blessing my life in significant ways.  I love her.
