I just woke up from a dream about my friend Livia. She was an amazing person and I cherish the memories of the things we got to experience together. She drowned in a kayak race in the Rockies some years ago. I wasn't even in the country at the time, but I was told later that her kayak flipped and she got wedged between some rocks upside down in the rapids. It was four minutes before they got to her and it was too late.
In the dream I heard her voice talking about the things she'd done in her life, as well as the things she still hoped to do. It was like movie clips playing in my mind with her voice as a voiceover - Livia playing guitar, making jewelry, mountain biking, dancing...
I loved her. I knew it then but I was too immature and scared to be able to say it to her. I don't think she would have been upset if she had known, but I was never able to tell her.
Her family started a foundation in her name shortly after she died, and they've done all sorts of good things in the community. I think she would have been pleased.
I haven't been back to the town where we both lived since before she died, but I think I need to go back sometime soon to pay my respects to her. I still miss her and when things like this dream happen I end up having a bittersweet day afterwards, thinking of her and how I felt about her and wishing I could have told her how I felt before it was too late.
I never got to say goodbye.
