R.I.P Patti

I will always cherish this little sculpture that was just a starting point of the talented artist you would become. Sure it is not the most refined and you would graduate to rabbits but that you gifted this me, one of the first gifts I ever received from someone who was one of my first real friends. I love you and will miss you dearly despite how long it had been since we last spoke. It would have been our 20 year anniversary in October. I hope I was able to provide you with the same level of comfort and friendship that you gave me in equal measure. I hope you have found peace wherever your spirit has ascended to.

when remnants of your past help you persevere in the present
