Goodbye Venita
Today, I found out that a very good friend of mine, a friend that I talked to less than a week ago, is dead. She called me to let me know that her boyfriend would be coming to my house to pick up some items that I was holding for her. She sounded perfectly healthy, if a little drunk. Today, her boyfriend called me to let me know that he would be picking up her stuff and she was dead.
Venita was no saint. She was a little too promiscuous and a little impatient and she had a way with words that would make a sailor cringe with shame but she also was kind and spiritual and she loved her kids. It's odd to know that life isn't as guaranteed as we would like it to be.
As good a friend as she was (is), I don't miss her, because she's not really gone. She is in my heart and in all the hearts of all the people who miss and love her.
Goodbye Venita. You are still here with us.

It can be so hard, losing someone. And Venita knows you hold her in your heart.
Blessed Peace................
This is quite a post. You must be going through many, many emotions and you managed to say some truly real things. All my condolences and all my best wishes.
You just never know what life will throw at you. Nothing I can say will change things for you, but I am thinking of you.
Take Care.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Loy. It's good to see you have kept your chin up and that you were able to express your thoughts thru this media. Perhaps my thought is correct, we write more for ourselves than for any one else.
