goodbye, dear friend

I don't know how to write my feelings. I don't know how to express anything right now.

My friend, one of my best friends, has died and I feel that part of me has died with her.

It feel empty and sad and beside myself. I got a message on Tuesday night that she had taken a turn. This morning I got a call around 9AM with the news that she had passed this morning. I am grateful that I went to see her last night. I am grateful that I got to say goodbye. She knew I was there, and while I could not understand the final words she spoke to me, I know what she said.

I am mostly grateful for the friendship I was fortunate enough to share with her for the past 10 years.

As the days pass I know will talk more about it. I am flooded with memories of her and I just can't believe that she's gone.
