Basking in the warmth of the hot water jets I try and let go. The nagging guilt, someone I was once very close to gently passed away in her sleep from some infection. No chance to say goodbye or share another moment…

Not even 52 years old, the first woman I was close to after my first exwife at the time. The first woman I knew intimately since my first ex as well.

She was destroyed since her boyfriend/soulmate passed away 2 years ago (hell of a nice guy). She did what she needed to do to survive and it took a toll likely the ultimate one, her health and life.

I’d rather remember her as she lived than how she died. She was a brilliant fun sarcastic bubbly gal that kept me on the edge of my toes 18 years ago. Stunning green eyes, gentle fair face with a smile that could melt the ice caps. A passionate lover and all in all great friend.

We had a lot of fun while we dated for that small fun window in time. I hope you and your beloved are reunited in whatever next awaits us all. Goodbye, gorgeous, and rest in peace. ❤️❤️❤️
