Sometimes you meet a person who touches you in some way or another, and though you may not consider that person a real friend, you are happy that person is there in your life in whatever capacity. I'm talking about a person who makes you smile when you see them and who's company you love to be in, no matter what the circumstances. I think we've all got those kinds of people in our lives, those in the extended family of friends whom we cherish. I most certainly do, and today's song is dedicated to one such person who has been suffering for a long time and has finally been set free from her pain.
Though it is a relief that she is gone, her loss is still painful. My heart goes out to her family, whose own combination of relief and pain must be so hard to deal with. I only hope that they, too, will find peace in the fact that she is now in a better place and no longer continues to suffer. May they let go of all of the anguish they've endured at watching her suffer all of these months, and now finally begin the long, slow process of healing. Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed!
