I put this off because writing this made it real.
I was digging around looking for photos…any excuse not to say goodbye. I’ve had a lot of loss recently so this isn’t easy. I loved you so my feelings can wait…you deserve to be honored and your friendship meant the world to me.
There will come a point when I will look back on our over 20 years of memories and smile.
But, not today. The world is dimmer without Nancy. (Panda, Charlie) Her grin and smile contagious bringing joy everywhere she went.
I have so many great memories and experiences…too many to choose one. Road trips, lavish dinners, and late night talks that seemed to never end. However, I do remember a time when Nancy and I visited Will in college. They scared the life out of me with a huge yellow boa constrictor. Good times…
We shared our dreams and hopes for love…the pain of everyday life…more sisters than friends.
Nancy’s love for photography, boundless curiosity, awkward dance moves, true blue friendship, and saving me from myself so many times I lost count.
I guess my greatest memory is…I was safe with Nancy. She was a protector. A real life superhero…ready to save the day. She was the best friend I’ve ever known. I will miss you so much , P! I want to thank you for everything. I am who I am today partly because of our friendship.
I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. With the pain I’m feeling…know my heart is broken…some losses are just too great. It’s not goodbye because you will live forever in my heart…my dear friend!
