My friend Shavonne. I still miss you.

(I'm just getting everything out at once, so sorry for the back to back posts.)

It's almost a year since I lost my friend Shavonne. I wasn't able to go to her funeral. She was a coworker at my previous job. I was only able to do one outing with her just the two of us, but we did something out there and mined for gems.

When I left my job she made sure to show up on my last day with balloons, a card, and gifts, and it was the most precious, unexpected moment. She had such a heart.

I hadn't been in touch enough, and found out she died through facebook. It was hard to process. It had only been two years at that point since I had lost another friend. Grief is really hard thing to deal with, and it doesn't matter how often you say goodbye to various people, friends, family or pets, each loss is a new journey to travel.

The day I found out Shavonne died, I'd just been going through old cards and came across the one she wrote to me. It meant a lot that I got to spend that one trip with her.

Thanks for being my friend.
