She wasn't known by many and yet everyone who met her loved her infectious energy. On Thursday during the night the universe called my darling friend home. She was only 48 years young. And she spent many of those years in a struggle to maintain sobriety. Thankfully the past year of her life she was winning the war against the demons that she lived with.
There are so many things that are sad about a vibrant life cut short too soon. She had so many plans of how she wanted to raise her daughters. We would talk endlessly about the books we were going to write together, plans of trips we were going to take, and even conversations that we didn't have time to exchange. Donna, I am so sad to say goodbye, and at the same time I know that your suffering on this earthly plane is finished.
We always joked that when our time here was over we would meet again in that other dimension. We would recognize each other, standing waiting at a bus stop, and we would say to each other - "Do you believe what just happened!" Of course every time she said that to me, I never believed that she would get to the bus stop before me.
