Tell me why...

When I got up this morning something felt odd, wrong, just a weird vibration. Got to work and it was eerily quiet. People on vacation, day after Superbowl, training offsite - I thought maybe it was just the combination of it all. Then I got a call. A dear dear friend passed away last night. I am devasted beyond sadness. She was a lovely human being the kind that you hope to be. I could talk many paragraphs about her kindness and strength. Unbeknown to myself she had Leukemia. She was optomistic about a full recovery. She didn't tell many people as she was a private person but was upfront if asked. I wish I had known. She was a great support in my aftermath of my own personal battle. Days I felt weak she stood by me. But this is not my story. Hers was a life of her own setbacks and battles fought and won. The peaks and valleys that make up this rollercoaster of life. She was a champion of the disabled and a mentor to all. She carried herself proudly and with class. She cared enough to say "try again" until you stand on your own two feet. She was also ready to cheer your victory when you achieved your hard won goal. She loved her family without bounds. She was a talented gardner who each year made the soil sing to the blue sky with a chorus of vibrant blooms.
There are no more words to say but E. I will miss you.
