Good-bye, My Friend

Last week I lost a dear friend to a horrific crime.  My heart won't stop breaking and I'm not sure what to do or how to move on.

I wish I could have saved you, and I wish I had the chance to see you, to hug you, to love you just one more time.  I hope you know how incredibly special you are to me, and how much I cherish our friendship.

I love you, sweet friend. This morning, there were so many reminders of you everywhere.  I broke down and cried and cried.  You are everywhere and nowhere all at the same time, and it's unbearable.
I hope you can read this somehow. Perhaps you are hovering over my shoulder as I type.  Please stay close for your kids, your family, and for your friends who love you so much.  Selfishly, we need you here.

I can't say good-bye to you...not yet.  Just love, love, love...for my beautiful friend.
