Kim

The tragic death of my dear sweet friend has sent my sole to a place I have never been before. From total and utter shock, to the deepest sadness I have ever felt, to rage so strong I could have done unthinkable things, to sadness even more deep than before...

Kim is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Her friendship and kindness shaped my life. I am who I am because of my childhood friends.

Our friendship started early and continued all through the years, we were inseparable... then boys came and she met her Pat and true love was born. Jealous? I do admit, but soon I found my own distraction's.

Adult hood brought on even more distraction's but sooner or later we would find ourselves catching up like we never missed a beat. Sorrow and loss I will always feel, but the comfort of her friendship will get me through. Friendship is worth making time for.
