My heart is breaking. Why did you have to go now? Now of all times. Life so bright ahead. And I need you. Oh how I need my dear friend. I am happy for you. Sad for me. Sad you had to leave. No words describe the friendship we shared. The moments we spent talking, laughing, and singing. Singing . . . how we both loved music. Remember those times we used to put together shows for our small town church. Remember the days sitting on the porch swing talking as the sun caressed our skin. Or those summer afternoons as little girls, swimming in the pool each day til we turned red. I will never forget you sweet one. I will never forget your vibrant laugh, your vivacious personality, or your constant friendship. Mourning your loss is so hard. Slowly, the hot tears trickle down my cheek. I am afraid to cry, afraid to let go, holding on to you with everything in me. I am trying to be strong while at the same time letting myself be weak – letting you go.
God, I struggle to understand You. Things in my life have been going well, and my relationship with You growing stronger each day. Now this, now the loss of my dear friend. I love You always, but this does not mean I grasp Your ways. Father, I know and trust You will give me the strength to make it through the pain - to again feel the sun on my face, feel the warmth of Your embrace, and know it is well with my soul.
It is the ones left behind who struggle. It is hard to imagine life without the ones you love when they are here . . . and when they go, you still cannot imagine your life without them. They live on in your heart, in your dreams, and in the life you continue to live.
