Addendum to Rosie

I write this in the wake of Rosie's passing. I write "you" to signify her.

The last time I saw you was at Maddy's 2nd birthday party.
Vivacious as ever and so full of Joy. No thoughts to the battle with Cancer that you fought and won. That's just another piece of you, who you are. Your passing raises a well of tears that cannot be quelled. Taken from earth in a swift slap of fate. I remember you at 18, when we challenged our hair to mysterious heights. Of course, you won every time. You were always a stunning girl. Envied by many~ including me. Not just for your external beauty but the beauty in your heart. The kind of beauty that cannot be conveyed with words. There will never be another human being like you. Unique. Beautiful. Vivacious. Charming. Elegant. Rosie.

Rosie,

I will never get to say "Good Bye" to you.

I will not be able to tell you how thoroughly beautiful you are.

I will not be able to tell you how much joy you have brought to others.

I will however, remember you with love in my heart.

Rosie,

Rest now, peacefully.

Still

I have no idea as of yet why those fireworks were set off. That aside, school is great!
I love my classes, especially American Sign Language. I get to use what I know. In addition, I can learn more about it and be able to apply it with friends who are hearing impaired and deaf. It's amazing how life twists and turns, where you end up, what you end up doing with your life.
I'm really glad I'm here. In this place. Now.
I've been informed by my English teacher that I along with the rest of the class, will be starting a new blog on our English readings. I will probably cut and paste some of it for you to read as well.
Really looking forward to an awesome semester.
