The Best Friend a Girl Could Have!

So today I said good bye to one of the best friends a girl could have! Claudia has been a part of my life for almost 4 years but it is hard to remember her not in my life. She came into my life at a time that I really needed a friend like her. I met her shortly after my dear sweet daughters passed away. I never wanted to leave my house. It was too much effort to visit with people and paste the smile on my face. Jon kept pushing me to get out and have fun but I kept refusing until one day he came home and told me we were going to float the river with the Cook family and there was nothing I could say about it. This was the first time I met Claudia. From that day on I have not looked back at that dark place in my life and felt the despair I had felt. Claudia seem to radiate happiness and I had so much fun and truly smiled when around her. I am so going to miss her. Utah is lucky to have Claudia. I am so thankful for the past three years and look forward to seeing Claudia when ever we get to Utah or her to Boise. There have been so many fun times, like giggling in the bathroom at the movies so hard that I thought I would end up on the floor, or just playing cards, or just talking. Baylee is going to miss her as well. She loves her Claudia, RC and Aidan. Not a day goes by that she doesn't mention one of them. So Cook family I say "Have fun, remember the Svedin's always and you better come visit!!!!"
