Today I lost my good friend Ladawn. I couldn’t end my day without writing something about her. She had been a part of my life for the last 20 years. As I write more about my life journey she will be in it. Our friendship had its ups and downs. Both being stubborn and stuck in our own ways. There is no way that we couldn’t have butted heads for as long as we knew each other. She struggled with bipolar disorder probably the whole time I knew her. Although back when we first met bipolar was not commonly known about. She was not diagnosed until later in her life. A mother of 5 children she loved and adored.
I think I am still in shock. Her health had deteriorated a lot over the last 5 years. She passed away in her sleep which is something I can be thankful for. She was on oxygen and was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure, COPD and a few other things. Had she lived longer her life would have been harder as the illness progressed.
I am sad for her children and grandchildren for their loss.
RIP MY FRIEND UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
