When something tragic happens in your life it takes so long to be able to form the words to describe how you feel out that event.  A very dear friend of mine passed away yesterday.  She was someone who has been my friend since we were kids in junior high.  She was my best friend for a very long time.  We went through a lot together.  We had sleepovers, snow days, drivers ed, late night phone calls to boys, field hockey, vacations, marriages, divorce, children… so many milestones.  We laughed a lot and made so many good memories together and my life is richer for having known her.  She had troubles in her life and I sometimes wished I could have been closer to help her through them. But I am content in knowing that I was her friend through it all and supportive of her until the end.

I’ll miss you.
