My college roommate went into renal failure as I was reading this essay...she's still in ICU. The warp and weft of the universe is a strange and mysterious place.

I am sorry that you are losing your friend on this plane, although I believe that we never totally lose the ones we love. They just go ahead to scout the next campsite. I hope her transition is gentle, and after a full life.

Golden wings!

Grace -- my best friend -- passed over last night, about 7.30pm. I had a nasty day yesterday, basically sleeping all day (I know, a sign of depression). Then around 7pm I thought I should phone to see how she was doing. I finally did so about 8pm. I didn't get through -- they were dealing with all kinds of family drama -- but I felt a great sense of relief and slept all night. I woke this morning calm and energized for the first time in days. I knew she had passed, a phone call to her sister confirmed it.

Yes, I'm grieving, and I'll miss her terribly. But I knew her before this life and will know her again, so I'm not devastated.
