Adriana
















I have always loved you and I have missed you forever. Guess it just didn't occur to me that you would die before I did.


I remember all the times I was depressed, and you showed up at my door with a steak dinner you prepared and served to me.


I remember the immense heart inside you; which could not deny even the most vile some joy and comraderie.


I remember how you read my mind; never did I know a person so in tune with my soul and every thought as you were.


I remember you as the most competent person I have ever known; ever if you were so very stubborn.


I remember your laughter and wit; it flowed easily for you. I never minded your being better than I was, because I loved you so.


The world is a much lonelier place now that you are gone. Even though I have not seen you for years.
I always knew those snowy winter days, sitting at the Malt Shop window, watching the snow fall; that I would remember those times as some of the best in my life.



God bless you and your Dad and Mom.


You will always be such a sweet place in my heart. You remind me: it is too late to tell someone you love them when they are dead.


Vaya con Dios mi amiga.

Adriana was a very good friend of mine. Yes, she had a very big heart. Her home was open to her friends. She allowed me to move in with her when she did not even know me. She was a witness at my wedding, and she helped me to learn to care for my newborn son. Adriana and Carl lived with my husband and me for a time as well. God Bless You, Adriana!!

Welcome

All blogs are really just small snapshots of a person's mind, heart and soul as they evolve together through life....

Small bits of the thread of life we weave together into the fabric of ourselves, in the hope we will make sense of our existence, individual and collective.

On this page, is the cloak I have fashioned from my fabric to warm myself in a universe which often makes little sense.

Inside my cloak, it is warm enough to face the blistering cold winds of the insane world in which I find myself.

If you find some a bit of 'the good stuff' here, it has been my pleasure.
