A Guardian Angel

This day always sneaks up on me. 

And then it hits me like a ton of bricks and I spend the next few hours just trying to comprehend how it's been two whole years since this beautiful girl left us. 

It feels like just a few weeks ago that she here and bringing laughter and joy into everyone's life.

And after I take those few hours to be sad, 

and to wish I could hug her

and drink hunch-punch

and talk about boys

and go to Bagel Bagel

and take the most ridiculous pictures

and laugh for hours and hours and hours. 

And I think about all those memories and I realize

that even though I can't do all those things with her anymore,

I was lucky enough to have had her to do all those things with. 

And that every time I 'get some'

or I drink just a bit too much

or I laugh at inappropriate jokes

or I take silly pictures

she's cheering me on from where ever she is.

This girl lived every second of her life.

And

She made sure everyone around her did the same.

I was blessed with a fiercely beautiful, talented, joyful, and loyal friend in this life.

And now I have a fiercely, talented, joyful, and loyal Guardian Angel watching over me.
