I've been thinking about you a lot lately.
You remind me to be strong, to care for others, to love unconditionally. I think of you when I want to quit because you never did. You fought until the end, and I can deal with whatever it is that I think I'm struggling with.
When I think of you, tears fill my eyes because you were too good of a person to leave us so soon. And I can't imagine what your family and best friends are feeling right now.
I. Can't. Imagine.
Because as much as I feel sorrow and regret and sadness, I didn't know you as well as I wish I did. And my heart is with those that did. Those that had the extreme pleasure of being in your presence because you were loved by all and were an inspiration to all. You still are and always will be.
