Dearly beloved.....

Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a good friend. A woman of independence and individuality. Someone who was always so quick to listen, to be there for her friend, and who could plan or attend a party at a moment’s notice.
It was not a sudden loss, we saw it coming. Her big smile that usually was turned towards us started to face another, permission needed to be asked when invited for an adventure....or even coffee. Suddenly we felt more like a tricycle than a bicycle. The third wheel. The beginning of the end.
She was a good woman, but today we must not weep for her crossing to the other side - to the world of couples and togetherness. Until we cross over ourselves or she get’s flung back to us - we will miss her.
Good luck over there.
