When I think of you.

I remember I felt frozen

when I heard that you my

friend have six months to live.

I did not want to believe this news.

I heard it from your doctors’ mouth.

I could not run and hide from this.

I had to accept what was being told to me.

You my friend lived nine beautiful, wonderful months.

We talked about life and death;

we talked about cancer

not to be afraid of it.

We shared our love for each other.

We talked about Gods Love.

We hugged each other, we were not

afraid to let each other know how much

we cared for each other.

You my friend have taught me so much in life.

You were like my mom, and grandmother all in one,

but more important you

were my friend.

You took time to listen to me

even when you were

not feeling good.

We took time with each other to listen

and give love to each other.

I miss you.

I love you.

I know you’re in peace now.

I was blessed to know you.

I hold close in my heart the six years that I was

blessed with your friendship.

I thank you.

You taught me how to live and to die with dignity.

I was frozen in time

but God unfreezes me with your sprit.

I think of you everyday and I feel the warmth

of your spirit.

                                   I love you my friend.
