I'm feeling so many emotions with such intensity at one time, that I don't know how to react or what do and I just want this horrible ache in my heart to ease.
Janet was such a wonderful person, warm, caring and generous. Words cannot describe how much she meant to me, I find myself reaching for the phone to call her, only to have reality smack me in the face, I can't even erase her number off my cell phone, it feels too final. She was the true artist in the family and the one who inspired me in my poetry. Janet, I will always love you.
I'm feeling sorry for myself tonight, so forgive me, just wanted to share a part of me, actually a very big part of me, I know this because when she died she did take a part of me with her... I also believe she left a little of herself with me, and for that I am grateful.
