the end

when someone you know dies.
it is always sad
you miss the talks. the times you had and suddenly you are reminded.
that despite the commitments:
the bills, the obligations, the milestones, the laughter, and tears.
It can all be gone in an instant.

You were a light. A true light that shined. It radiated from you like the sun itself. It made me want to be a better person, and anyone who knew you wanted to know how to get that light.

I know that you are in a better place, that your life now is far better than it ever was here,
I know you are in a better place with angels surrounding you.
a place of laughter, of happiness, a place with more light than even you could give.

And no one deserves it more than you.
