Today is a sad day

This morning my phone rang very early. It was my sister. She was calling to tell me a friend of ours had passed yesterday. A beautiful, vibrant, young woman anyone would be proud to call their friend.

It was a freak thing - a blood clot that went to her heart while she was in labor with her son. They took him via c-section and then tried to save her but it was too late.

Aria, we love you and miss you. You have touched so many lives with your witty personality. You weren't afraid to tell it like it was and that is why so many truly loved you.

I came across this poem today. I think it is beautiful so I wanted to share it here in memory of Aria:

Diana
by Rosebud

You truly were an angel
sent from God in heaven above.
Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved.
When I found out that you had died
I thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive - and then
just like that, you were gone.
A flame blown out in seconds,
Confirming our worst fears -
A light that shines no more on earth
for which we shed many tears.
But still you are my beacon
And I need you right now.
You hear all the prayers I say
Because they are answered somehow.
I wish that you could be here,
But in a way you are.
Your symbol of a rose goes everywhere with me,
so I know you can't be far.
It still is quite a shock to me
that you had to die;
But no one will forget you
And I love you, and goodbye.



Rest In Peace sweetheart. <3
