Friend, Lost

AJK,

It’s been so long since I had you on my “friends” list (IRL or online) and I miss you like crazy, I really do. Whatever we’re mad at each other about, can’t we just let it go? It was so, SO long ago (7 years? 8?) that we let our friendship go missing; 6 years of being “BFF’s” before that time seems like a lifetime ago.

It would mean so much to me to reconnect with you… life is just too short to continue walking on eggshells wondering why we aren’t friends.

Please at least reply - tell me to F-off or something, if that’s all you can manage. It’s killing me to ignore you, and to be ignored by you, while always wondering if there is a chance our old and true friendship could be rekindled.

I have never stopped admiring you and loving you from afar. Not for a single day.

Loss - Theirs, Ours, Mine

The reasons for “loss” are confusing and elusive to me. The loss of [the life of] anyone we love - young or old - is never something any of us wish to experience, yet death is the only inevitable part of life.

My Introduction to Elaine

Losing Elaine has been a gut-wrenching experience for the past 3 weeks.  I’ve written a lot about it, even though writing about the personal lives (or in this case, death) of my family/friends is usually off my acceptable blog topic list.  But, I need to share this story… and include it as one of my ways to remember her.

……….

The first time I met Elaine was a little over 7 years ago.  She’d already known K1 for about 2 years prior to that, so they had a very established friendship.

When K1 brought me over to her apartment the first time it was almost like being introduced to someone’s parents… because I knew how much K1 respected Elaine’s opinion.

Instead of feeling the pressure of meeting her for the first time, something quite comical happened that lightened the mood.
