It has been a year since your passing. I think of you often and the good friend you were to me since we met in Grade 2. You always had a kind word for people, never putting them down. If I told you something in private, it never went further. We went through many life experiences together, laughing and crying along the way. We watched each other's children grow up, and the years went in.
Yet you were taken from this earth too soon at the age of 46. I watched you try to battle the Cancer, but it had spread too far and nothing could be done.
Surrounded by the ones who loved you, we saw you slipping away, the evil Cancer taking you away from us. I had seen this monster before with my father. and knew it was only a matter of time.
I treasure the last day we spent together, exactly one year ago. I sat on a chair beside your bed stroking your hair and wiping the tears from your eyes. Looking into your eyes I knew you could understand me as I spoke gently about our life over the years, the children we gave birth too, and how everything is going to be alright. I told my dear friend how special and loved she was to me and everyone who took the time to see the beautiful person you were inside.
As I left her Hospital room that day, I knew her time was near. It was two hours later I received the call she had passed away.
Today I am teary eyed but knowing my friend will always be in my thoughts........
