…and not one day goes by, Goddaughter of love and angels, that I don’t think of you with enormous love. On this day, I honor your life on this earth and your transition to another plane of existence.
You truly ARE everywhere to me. And I know, without a doubt, you can see me.
From a long, sad post I wrote back in March 2006:
For right now, though, I will sip coffee, wrap a strange red and white stuffed snake around me like a blanket and stare out the window at the gray sky. And miss the little girl/young woman who understood my 12 year old soul.
Everywhere

…
And when I touch your hand
It’s then I understand
The beauty that’s within
It’s now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
‘Cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it’s you I see
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone
‘Cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It’s you I breathe
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone
You’re in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
Thinking of you and loving you as much as always. I’ll see you on the flip side, La. Save a space on the bench for me, k?
Wow. That was beautiful. I know you will be together forever because rare beautiful souls like yours will always find each other.
That is a beautiful poem. A perfect fit for a perfect princess. I like to dream that our loved ones who went before us are helping design the house, interior and landscape of our eternal homes. For only they know our style and flair and many of the things will take years of handy craftmanship and love to make just right.
Close your eyes and just imagine what kind of non-Moen faucet Lauren and your Mom are designing and having made to put on your eternal bathroom sink. I bet they won’t be your ordinary hot and cold water knobs and spigot. They’re having a ball thinking about you – that’s for sure! =O)
Lisa, it’s hard to believe Lauren has been gone a whole year already. I am glad you are still memorializing her life. She was a rare spirit and you were so fortunate to be her friend.
Hey LIsa, I know it’s a day late but I was thinking about you all and La, especially yesterday. I’m still sending you lots of love and air hugs. Hope everything is going well.
Love you lots.
Lisa,

Jennifer
