To My Dear Friend,
It’s been over a month now that you’re gone and I still can’t believe it. I have to tell you, I admire you. All those years you kept that pain inside of you; you decided to follow your truth and it came at a great cost to you. You lived in a dark place but you always radiated light. You shined bright. You were going through so much but you smiled and you cared and you loved. And for everybody, you were there. How did you do it?
I think of you on the daily and your loss would tear me up but Torah has taught me there is no death; there is only extended separation. So I know I’m going to see you. And when I do, I’m going to push you, smack you, and ask you, why’d you have to leave so soon? Then I will hug you, tell you how much I missed you, that I love you. I love you.
Until then, my dear friend.
