We met in 2002. I was preparing for my wedding. I saw you as a natural loving mother, offering original smile. Nothing more. You asked genuine questions, showed real interest in every conversation you initiated. I did not make extra attempt to be comfortable in getting acquainted to you.
I never knew it was really that easy to talk about anything to you : UMR, temperature, fashion, kids, cooking, movies. Many times we only had quick lunch and trivia talk and laughed a lot. Many times you did not say anything but listened to me, and put me at ease.
What I have not mastered from you is your ability to laugh at bitter facts of life in order to make your heart lighter.
I know, when we did not meet, you never had doubt our the friendship. I am sorry for not taking enough time to listen to your worries and concerns. I am sorry for not being "there" when you needed a lending hand. I am sorry for not trying to convince you that your wishes do come true.
So today you left, and I guess God has planned the best for you.
I came to see you though you could not see me. We all prayed for you, may your journey be peaceful as the atmosphere you have always created when you were still around.
Rest, my friend, rest.
