I know a lot of you remember Noah's best friend Piper, they have grown up together and have been best friends since third grade. Heck, they grew up on Two Peas with all of you. Its with a heavy heavy heart that I tell you all that Piper passed away earlier this summer. She was 17, caught acute pneumonia, was at Texas Children's on machines and in a medically induced coma. Unfortunately, she never woke up. It has been so hard for her and our families since we were so close and they did everything together. Her mom is my best friend and I'm just so heartbroken for her. I know you Old Peas remember her and how close her and Noah were and I should have been here to tell you sooner. Noah has taken it hard but we really aren't sure how much he understands. The viewing and funeral were very hard and he got through it very well, considering. We still get a lot of comments, like Piper won't be at myBday party, etc. He is now the only Senior in the Special Services Dept. at his high school. It's going to be so hard to go through this year without her, they did everything together. It will hit him hard once he goes back to school. Anyway, I knew you guys would want to know since you have watched them grow up together. I'm sorry I have come to visit and have such bad news but I knew you all would want to know. Here they are on their way to the annual Special Olympics Dance. She was such a beautiful girl and so full of joy. We miss her terribly.  |

I remember them as best friends. I am sorry. I am sorry for everyone. I am sorry a young woman lost her life. I am sorry Noah lost his best friend. I am sorry your BFF losing her sweet angel. This just sucks @#$@#$. There is no other way to describe it other than sucking.
I would think Noah would notice it like a family member is gone, but the sheer (sp?) magnitude of losing a close friend at this age would be life altering. I.e. if I lost my BFF at 17, life would have been over! It sounds like he is coping remarkably well considering. Hug him from all of us ok?
I can't wait for stories when you are out in the trenches...working as a court interpreter, or at a bank or a business or at an elementary school. What a neat career path you have chosen!

I'm sorry Cara. I have been wondering how Noah has been doing since Piper passed away so am thankful (that sounds so wrong...) for your update. I have been worried about him a lot.
I'm sorry again for the loss of Piper. It's just not fair at all.

Cara, you and Noah have been in my prayers. So painful for all the families and friends of Piper. I have always enjoyed seeing pictures of Piper and Noah. They always looked so happy. Take care and hugs to you.

She really was a beautiful girl and I know your son must miss her terribly. I have been thinking of him and Piper's parents since you mentioned this on Facebook - I feel like I know her almost since I saw her and Noah growing up through your photos. So sad |

Piper and Noah always seemed inseparable in so many of the posts you made over the years. Her loss must be so profound for you all.

I am so sorry. I remember about Piper being Noah's BFF! Prayers to all of you, especially Noah as I am sure this is hard for him to understand and to express how he's feeling.
PS...great to see you here!
Oh and how grown up your Noah is!
