A week ago a friend of mine passed away. We weren't close, we hadn't spoken in a couple of years, but she was a constant figure over the years as we knew many of the same people and she dated a good friend of mine for some time.
When young people are taken too soon you feel robbed, you're left with an empty chasm and your heart falls right into it.
A couple of months ago I saw this person pop up on facebook and I went to say hello.. I stopped myself, thinking it had been too long and it would be too weird.
My advice to everyone is not to wait, not to hold back.. she never did.
I can't imagine what my friends and her family are going through, but I'm sure they know just how well she spent her time on this Earth and that will be celebrated tomorrow.
She lived a full life and spent her time discerningly. Those of us lucky to have been given any of it are very fortunate indeed.
