No, this isn’t a plot point. It’s a life point.
A friend of mine died suddenly a week ago on Sunday night. I think it was Sunday night. I can’t remember much about the phone call I received that morning and I don’t have any of the details.
Then some tough lessons hit the fan. And because Caron was Caron, she had a really big fan.
One of the last conversations we had related to where she found herself at this point in her life. I think she finally got it when I told her she was in the perfect place. That everything that had happened had not been a mistake. Those things weren’t against her, but for her. She fell completely apart and I knew she heard the words God was trying to send her through me.
Oh, God. I feel right now like I’m talking to her again. You know? Right this minute. She’s poked her lovely head in and I can hear her voice. She’s sending me love vibes, the way only Caron could send them.
So here are my words to you. Take the time. Make the connections. Never walk away. Always be as honest and truthful as you can. Sometimes you have to throw off the detritus to get to the soul, but hey… we all have detritus. It’s the soul that survives. It’s the soul that understands and matters.
Caron/Karen Andrews/Richardson, child of God, you were perfect and beautiful. You are perfect and beautiful. You touched lives. You changed lives. I know you blessed mine. You were always exactly what I needed, even when I didn’t think so.
