I didn’t have a chance to tell her this in person.

I love you. Don’t be scared. I’m positive I will see you again. Let go of this painful shell of a body and swim out to sea. Look for sea turtles. Enjoy swimming in the beautiful waters off your favorite beach. You are healthy and strong. Tan, and such a powerful swimmer. Water is your element. The water is so clear and blue. It’s so much fun to swim along and play dolphin in the ocean and you have on the sweetest fins ever. You can swim as fast as you want with them on and it so fun to swim underwater with the fishes. Nowhere to go, nothing to do. Might go kayaking closer to sunset. Nice snack with grilled fish, fresh pineapples, mangoes. After maybe a joint or two, some drinks and watch the sunset with friends. The air is the perfect temperature and you are dancing in your beautiful sarong. Its been a beautiful day. Listen to the waves on the beach. I can hear them crashing on the shore. The palms are gently swaying. The day has been perfect.

My friend left her body tonight but this is where and how I will always picture her. My best to you on your new journey.
