So today I had to say farewell to someone who is so very dear to me. We had some wonderful times together over the past few months. She has left for her reasons I won't get into, but I will say things appear darker without her being here. She said she will keep in touch and that we will remain friends. I wrote her a letter and asked her to read it once she got on the plane. She said she would, and will tell me of her reaction to it. After she has done so, I will post a copy of the letter here.

She and I have shared many a walks and conversations together. She has been my "muse" for many works, a few of which can be seen on here. My only wish is that our paths to have crossed earlier in life.

I truly do hope things work out for her for the best. I know she has some "hurdles" to overcome, but I know she is a strong person and will make the best of whatever may come her way.  She deserves all the best for her and I really hope one day our paths will cross once more.

If you find yourself reading this, remember..."Live for yourself". Your happiness is what matters, no one else's.

E.V.H. you will be greatly missed.
