Ditto. My BFF and I were the reigning queens of all things Barbie. *sigh* Oh, how I adored those dolls!
Speaking of my BFF, I got a call from her over the weekend. Her BIL, a seemingly healthy, very active 50 year old went to the hospital for a minor hernia surgery, and discovered through a series of post-op complications that he had cancer. His organs shut down almost immediately, then he slipped into a coma, and his wife (BFF's older sis) had to make the awful decision to take him off life support. He died Saturday afternoon, just 11 days after the operation, and 8 days after the diagnosis. They had no children, so BFF's sis is alone and terrified now. If there are any spare prayers lying around, the family could sure use them.
Such a sudden, random and shocking death. I saw him at BFF's 40th b-day party in March, and there was NO indication that he had the slightest thing wrong with him. It's just so incomprehensible.
