My friend Jessica died 10 minutes ago… She was 37. I think a lot of the reasons I didn’t visit her more while she was transitioning from this life to what comes next at Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs was denial. I denied to myself that she was going to die. I wanted to remember her walking and laughing and joking with me… Not from the cancer that first took away her ability to have children which she so desperately wanted with her husband, then took away her ability to walk by paralyzing her from the waist down… then finally took away her ability to breathe by clogging her lungs. Today my denial was shattered into a million pieces. I heard the pieces hit the floor and break apart further. Perhaps it was my heart that I heard shatter… And I wonder… do I cry from missing you, or feel you missing me? I will always remember and love you Jessica… Always...
