She’s forever my girl
.. to paraphrase Paula(r) Abdul.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of Lauren’s passing from the earth. Life truly isn’t the same without her. I wrote that last year and it will always be so. Many times I wish I could time travel back to when she was here even if just to hug her one last time. It’s not for me to know why her soul chose the path it did but I am beyond grateful to have had the experience of being in her life and having her be such a special part of mine.
Nothing will dim her light – not on earth and not in the Heavens. Love and miss you, La.

This is a good example of the limits for the question WHY, as you discuss over on Practically Intuitive. Sometimes, you just have to accept.
I can't believe it has been five years. I would have guesses maybe three, even accounting for my time traveling tendencies. I still get a luminary for her each year at Relay. She's in the wind, she's in the rain; she's in the rolling thunder that whispers your name. She's everywhere.
Love you, Twinnie!
The way you deal with your joy and pain is inspiring. I'm glad Lauren is with you, at this time of year and always.
