Dear Maria,
There are many things which don’t make sense to me at the moment and I am trying hard to understand. When I looked at you on Saturday, I didn’t cry, because it wasn’t you I saw. The Maria I know and love is so full of life and spirit, she makes everyone around her smile. This isn’t going to hit me until I go to one of Kenny’s games and I don’t hear you screaming his name, or when I am playing at one of my games and I don’t see you in the audience. I’m writing this because I want to say thank you for all the times you have supported me, and for the many times when you lifted all the spirits around you. Every time my phone rings, I look to see if it’s your number – so we can have our usual chat – but it’s not – so now the dream is becoming a reality. I’m missing you Maria – although I know you are watching down on everyone – guiding our paths.
Thank you again,
love,
Savanah
Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.
