Acceptance

On the journey of life, you meet all kinds of people.Some you like.Some you don't.Some stay with you a spell,while others quickly pass through.When I met her,I never knew how much she would come to mean to me or the impact she'd have on my life.She never questioned the whys or hows I came into her life;she just accepted.Not only accepted me,but those that came with me.Always willing to share a story or 2 with them.Embraced them because they were a part of me.Now she's gone.

St.Patrick's Days,Christmases,Bdays,Lazy Sunday afternoons; all with her.Suddenly she was gone.She was facing a battle none of us could prepare for.

Now her battle is over.She's on a new adventure.The greatest adventure humans can ever participate in.The unknown.I wish nothing but god-speed,comfort & peace for her.For me,I wish for 1 more walk on the beach, 1 more bday toast, 1 more Christmas dinner, 1 more anything...And to her I say, thank you.Thank you for your gift of unshakable embracement,acceptance and friendship.May you rest in peace.
