Sudden Stop

Sometimes life passes you by so quickly that you don't even notice things going on around you and then you hit a wall and it's like a sudden stop.  Thats how i feel right now, last night I found out that one of the girls I've known for about 18 yrs passed away.  It seemed so unreal and still does.  How can such a thing happen when you have children who need you.  All I can think about it is how would my kids survive if I wasn't here. I'm hoping her husband and family are stronger than mine would be and I hope they make it through this tough time! RIP Linda Steiner, forever you will be in my prayers!!!
