a knife slipping between the bones, the news stabs, slices, straight through to my heart. utter denial. it cannot be so. how can order be restored? where are the checks and balances? how can the world lose such a beautiful person? you are a whirlwind of love the queen of silliness, always ready to strike a pose promising great solemnity with newspaper in hand whilst all around people dance you are an excitable puppy, forever leaping into the unknown with two feet and, always, a smile. you are enthusiasm personified a metaphor for life itself. charming and enchanting, kind and ever-loving, patient and loyal. utter denial. it cannot be so. I will miss you more than you could ever know.

Grief at the loss of a dear friend...
a knife slipping between the bones, the news stabs, slices, straight through to my heart. utter denial. it cannot be so. how can order be restored? where are the checks and balances? how can the world lose such a beautiful person? you are a whirlwind of love the queen of silliness, always ready to strike a pose promising great solemnity with newspaper in hand whilst all around people dance you are an excitable puppy, forever leaping into the unknown with two feet and, always, a smile. you are enthusiasm personified a metaphor for life itself. charming and enchanting, kind and ever-loving, patient and loyal. utter denial. it cannot be so. I will miss you more than you could ever know.
Following the tragic suicide of a dear friend
