I knew you had moved beyond the physical form in March. I saw you at night, I dreamt of you. You were in my thoughts and prayers. I felt relief from you as you were no longer subject to the cancers that you have fought for years. Finally without pain. I refused to say it because it brought with it a lot of sadness. I have dealt with men in my life dying, my uncle, grandfather, Joe, but have yet to loose a female friend. Lia, I know that even though you were on the other side of the country, we had a friendship. I will miss your experience and your written voice. Those opinions of a woman who has traveled to the core of the universe and has grabbed life by the balls and submitted it.

You are missed, you are loved, sacred to my heart, my friend.
