On Tuesday the 30th I found out that someone died. This someone touched my heart and life many years ago and I had not thought about her for almost 25 years. Every now and then I would wonder where she was. She was only 56, that is my age. There are many articles about her and the good work she did while on this earth. As I read those articles I know that would not be said about me. Some days I sit in church and yearn to be close to God. Right now I feel far away and I don't know how to get back. I admire the work this person did and would have liked to have had the chance to talk to her about her service. She has not been back to Baton Rouge since they left to work in Africa. The picture of her looks the same as when she left 20 or more years ago. Her death has affected me alot. I think of her family.
