FWF #38 - Depression Sucks

Hi, folks - I'm afraid the past few days haven't been very good. I was very saddened to learn on Saturday, that a very good friend of mine had attempted to commit suicide on Friday night. Her husband was able to call the paramedics in time, so she has been recovering in a hospital. She was finally up to receiving some visitors today and so tomorrow, I will go see how she is doing. I knew she suffered from depression, but was taking her medicine regularly, so this came as a shock. She has such a beautiful soul - she's really one of my favorite people in the entire world!

As usual, Unity Stamps had the perfect sentiment...(I plan to leave it in her hospital room for her to find after I leave)...
I thought this Sketch #62 by Sunday Stamps Challenge would be perfect to showcase Unity's...
Suck Without You stamp kit. I know I can't do much more for my friend, except to just be there for her - and I hope she'll be able to return home soon to her kids.

But before all this went down, I did try out two new recipes...

Red Wine and Garlic Mushrooms (scrumptious!) and...

Parmesan Roasted Tomatoes (Wow! Who knew roasted tomatoes could be so yummy?! I used mozzarella instead of parmesan - loved this recipe!).

Thanks for visiting and hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week. :)

  13. That hidden pain and deep darkness that others suffer can be difficult for friends and loved ones to penetrate. My heart and prayers go out for you and for her. May your sweet card be a source of encouragement to her!
