I seem to write a lot of these. Not for any reason except to say good bye to someone that I never got the chance to. I'm not one to be overly friendly except with a few people and it's rare.
There are people that come in and out of your life. Its life, you accept it and you move on. There are people who just cut ties extremely, those who just fade with loss of contact, those who move in and out like you'll be friends forever just never for too long at a time. There are those people that you mean to call at the end of the day and say 'Hey, I was thinking about you, sorry I havent called." But that phone call rarely happens. You get sucked into your own life where anything can distract you. You forget that phone call, you forget that text you meant to send, or at the least, the comment you ment to post.
I have never dealt with death closely. The few times I've been to a funeral it was for my selfish desires more than anything. I want to say goodbye and I want closure. Its never been someone who i really remember talking to. Someone who I sat down with, shared a drink with or who accepted me into a little group, no matter how fleeting it was.
I'm sorry life distracted me from what I should have done. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference but either way it should have happened. I'm glad I met you. You were a great person, brash, to the point, caring, kind hearted and a second mother to a lot of us, even if it wasnt for a very long time. I'm not going to forget the good times... I think in the end thats what matters. Its the only time you cant dwell on the present or the future and you need to take a step back and look at what was. Thank you for .... everything you did for me.
