Time has passed, hair has grown
I'm doing this now because tomorrow I won't be in a state fit to do anything coherently at all. Due to exhaustion (have to get up in 6 hours from now), alcohol or Xanax.
One year ago today, one of the best people I have ever had the honor and pleasure to know passed away.
Ella fought hard for her life during the week she lay in coma but in the end, someone had other plans for her.
All I remember feeling a year ago is horror and shock... and regret that I didn't get the chance to know her better - and yet even after 3 weeks I felt able to count her amongst my closest friends.
She would be glad to know what her memory has brought about - a scholarship to bring dedicated, passionate people from Britain to Penn and give them the chance to study there, for instance. She also brought together one of the best groups of people I've ever had the privilege of being a part of - even if she wasn't always actually physically there.
I miss her so much and I hate that she was taken away from me before we could get to know each other better - because I know we'd have been friends for ever.
