Because it was time. God called you back home.<\/p>\n
I just found out, today, that a dear friend from high school passed away several weeks ago, in an accident.<\/p>\n
It was just a few days ago that I posted a happy birthday message on her Facebook wall. Today, I get a message from one of her friends, with the bad news.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t believe it.<\/p>\n
It’s been over ten years since I’ve seen her, but the memories of the good times always brought a smile to my face. I’ve always thought her spirit was too big for her physical body. Her love for people — family and friends, and her animals was limitless.<\/p>\n
Tonight, I think I’ll find that box of notes we wrote back and forth to each other in school. Maybe, I’ll sit and read them. Maybe I’ll shed a tear or two, or three.<\/p>\n
Kaulana, thank you for being my friend. Thank you for always being there when I needed to talk to someone. Thank you for making me laugh, and ‘getting’ my sense of humor. Most of all — thank you for being who you were. I love you. I will miss you. I will never forget you. I’ll see you again, one day.<\/p>\n
Love,
