I've been slack again. I was going to post about my niece's birthday (and I still will) or Halloween (pix anyway) or even my own birthday this past weekend. But then I got on Facebook today and the second thing I see after the page loads is that someone sweet and wonderful had passed away.
I don't really like that term, but it sounds much kinder than "died." At any rate, I know she is much better off. She (Heather) had CF and I know the last year or so seemed rougher than usual. But there is definitely a hole in my heart and a tear in my soul where she belongs.
I keep seeing people talking about Joe Frazier and Heavy D dying. I understand that when a celeb dies that it affects people, even if they didn't "know" them, but I still keep wanting to tell people that I don't care! And that they shouldn't either. They should care about Heather. But I know it doesn't work that way.
I also know life goes on. We see it time and time again. But all day today I have wanted people to stop what they were doing... know about her and then feel the loss of her presence like those of us that loved her do (I can't even begin to imagine what her husband is feeling right now.)
Love you, Heather! Miss you already. You are one of my favorite little rays of sunshine. Even if you are a crookedy ray that sometimes shines in people's eyes on purpose hehe <3
