MY TRUTH
To Lose a True Friend
|
By Cheryl Smith
The past two years have been challenging to say the least! As someone who has always believed that death was a process that we had to accept because it was a part of life; living through the pandemic makes it a totally different reality for me. While there are those who say, “You only live once,” I tend to offer a different perspective: you only die once.
