Prayers for Your Soul

A friend just died. Cancer.

She's just as young as me.

I have no idea what to say to her best friends or her family. I am sure no words could ever console them of such a sudden passing.

I feel like crying yet we were not that close, what more for those who were? I remember you winning a landslide victory over me on the "Secretary" position for the whole junior class. Then again, I remember you winning for the "Muse" position, again over me. Until now I have no idea why an introvert like me have been nominated to run against the fun, beautiful, social butterfly like you. It was quite a flattering experience.

I remember our little chats along the high school grounds. They're usually about you teasing me about a guy. I even remember you buttering up this certain guy, who 12 years later became my husband.

My heart is saying a prayer for you, my friend. They say those who die go to a better place. It helps a little to know that your pain is gone and you are now smiling with our Creator.

I look out the window and see that it's a very gloomy day. Large dark clouds all over but a little sun is peeping; just enough so we know it is there. I dedicate this day to you.
