In Memory

Bright 
Sun 
Shining
Birds chirping
I swallow hard and
Raise my glass up to honor you
You left this world too soon, my heart is left chasing you
	

In loving memory of A.A.S.

Wow, thank you all for your kind, encouraging words. This was written about my friend who passed 16 yrs ago, when she was 17 due to complications with pre-eclampsia, I was so heart broken. Her death was sad and shocking, but her friendship lives on!! Thank you!
