Dearest Tim,
I wanted to write such a Christmas dedication to you but I found that an open letter could convey so much more of what my heart wants to say.
You just can't imagine how I miss you, my friend
. I remember how we used to talk about anything and everything; how we used to share thoughts and dreams...
I remember how you encouraged me in my writing and you were always quick with a smile or a thoughtful word. I feel your loss deeply, gentle soul.
A part of me was lost the day you passed; a part that was given solely to you and to the meaning of our friendship.
At this holiday season, gentle lion, I hope you're dancing with the angels and resting in the loving, gentle arms of the king of kings.
Happy Holidays, my friend; I miss you so much!
Your angel friend,
Sandy
