one of my best friends passed away on Wednesday. she was --the-- most upbeat person i have ever met. the world was her oyster, even when she was sad and down she had a hurricane beneath her wings. after more than five years, cancer finally took her from this world. the world is less shiny without her. my heart is sad and misses her. i will never forget her, nor will her influence upon me ever decrease. the world will never be the same now that she has left it.
