I lost my best friend this week. It is without a doubt one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. Nothing prepares you for the loss of someone you love especially when it’s sudden. Literally one minute he was here with me and the next he was gone.
Tonight was Michael’s visitation. I was actually nervous to go, I didn’t know what to expect. I did better than I thought seeing him there in his coffin. My very first thought was oh that’s where you’ve been all week, like he’d just been off on some kind of journey.
Perhaps the saddest thing is it takes a tragedy to find out who’s really there for you. Or maybe you just didn’t realize they were there for you, or you weren’t aware of how much they loved you. All I know is that tonight I was surrounded by love and laughter.
I never want to forget how it felt tonight to be wrapped up in the love of family and friends. It just felt so good. I think every hug tonight helped heal my broken heart just a little bit. I am so blessed and so fortunate to be loved.
