Mystical indeed.
There once was a woman named Terri. She added so much to my life, and to the lives of so many others. A lot of love and a lot of caring poured from her spirit, including towards her Lord, Jesus Christ. She was one of the most beautiful people I've ever met.
It doesn't matter how old Terri would have been. Terri was not all too keen on people knowing her age. It matters though, that today would have been her birthday. It would have been HER DAY.
Breast Cancer took Terri from this world... from me... from all of us.
I would have taken the disease from her... for her, if only she had been able to live in return... to be able to be in her family's life, in the lives of her friends and loved ones, just a while longer.
Please don't ignore diseases. It doesn't matter that you or people you care for don't suffer from them. These diseases, whether it's Cancer or MS or anything else... these diseases NEED to be cured. We're smarter than to let them destroy our lives. We don't need to let them shatter our hearts. We're supposed to be SMARTER than the non-human animals!
I have an idea...
PROVE IT!!!!!!!!! PROVE that you're not a MONKEY!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!!
My dear friend...
I hope that you're at peace, Terri... that your, perhaps, long night is indeed, at the least, "mystic" indeed.
You'll be loved and remembered, my friend, as long as I can love or remember at all.

I remember when you talked about her last year. It is a good thing the way you keep her memory alive. I would bet that she appreciates it very much.

I also remember you bringing up her memory last year. Cutter, you've just driven home the old adage, "Love never dies". The love you have for her is palpable. When she chose you to be her friend, she chose wisely. Stay inspired, my friend..:)

Well-said, Cutter. I'd say she really knew how to pick her friends.

I remember your post about Terri last year. I have no doubt she was a lovely
woman. Just from her picture I can tell she has a certain Peace about
her.
I'm sorry she left the world so early on. Breast Cancer is horrible!
Blessings to you and Terri
