Valentine’s Day is usually a day of love and celebration.
A day where you show affection for your loved ones.
This year’s Valentine will be a somber one for me.
For it is the day that I mourn the loss of my friend…
A friend who was loved and treated well…
A friend who was there for when we needed her most…
A friend who was loyal and playful…
A friend who was loved until the very end…
A friend who presence is sorely missed.
I often hear that letting go is often the hardest part.
But I don’t believe that to be the case.
Knowing she’s in a better place brings some comfort.
But facing the void left in her place…
That’s the real hard part.
How I wish that my friend was still here…
Her warmth and love is needed most…
And can never be replaced.
This pain I feel is all too great…
This hole left behind too big to fill.
The days spent with her, always to be cherished…
The days ahead without her, not so much…
I will always embrace my short time with my friend…
I will never forget those moments – good or bad.
I will always remember my friend with great affection…
And I will always miss her dearly.
Goodbye, Sacha.
And thank you for being my friend.
