I was reading back in my blog ’cause I’d noticed a comment I hadn’t seen… It was on the post about my friend Arielle’s funeral. Reading it, I felt a little bad because it seems more people than just Arielle’s mother Karen had misunderstood some of the things I had said.
I can understand that… I tried to be as clear as possible with what I had said about her funeral, but… It’s a little hard to concentrate on that through tears. Even now, I have her picture on my desk where I can see it clearly and I’m sure I’m not the only one who still tears up at her memory.
Anyway, it’s nearly Arielle’s birthday and the one year anniversary of Arielle’s death on my birthday. I really wish there was a grave site or something I could visit, but as far as I know there is not. So I’ll do what I can to honor her memory. Which means art.
Again, the closer it gets to May the more I think about her… I don’t know if it will always be that way, but that’s how it is now. Not getting in touch with her when I had the chance is one of the biggest regrets in my life.
Please… If you’ve got something to say to someone, if you haven’t told your loved ones – family, friends, etc. – how much you love them and what they mean to you, do it today. You may not get another chance to do so. I certainly missed my chance and I regret it every day.
