You wake up on a Friday and someone does not do this anymore. You cannot get to them or talk to them, or see or complain about any of their irritating habits.
In memory of Esther. 1981 - 2011. 30 short years. In my world, she lived long. With ignorance on one hand and the countless diseases one can be prey to - from cancer, to acquired immunity deficiency sysndrome, we do have quite a variety from which one can move on. The paradox is the way she prepared me for what was coming "one just has to learn to deal with grief and move on". Verbatim.
This is one of the few times when I will quote a prayer which thanks God for someone's time on earth for the simple reason that while most peole desire much and accomplish much, Esther only wanted one thing in her life - to be loved and she did more than her fair share of loving other people and genuinely caring for them. Unfortunate thing was most people only saw her bad side, and few saw the good.
This post is dedicated to all the Esthers in my world.
