Daily laughter and goofiness from you has been a God send 🌪️🥹 Which I am so very thankful for 🙏🙏 Since I have lost most of my support 💔🗡️ It doesn't mean that the feelings have ceased to exist nor will they ever 😪🩵 Love is the answer, Love is the Key🗝️🔒
Thank you for bringing Naomi to life for us, painting a vivid picture of how she made others around her feel. I always love to hear about friends who laughed and got into mischievous fun together. We’ve all had those. My condolences. What a testament you give here in such beautiful words. She definitely seemed like a very warm soul. When you can hear someone talk about their friend who has passed on and you wish you could have known them, that’s something.
‘People may forget what you looked like, may forget how your voice sounded, but they will always remember how you made them feel.’ May Naomi’s memory be a blessing to all who knew her 💙🙏
amen and amen. her memory will always be one of warmth and laughter. it also reminds me to be more attentive. a better friend and person. more calm. more still. these lives we live... these friendships, the people we know... my God, we have no real grasp on how fragile and fleeting it all is.
No one is really gone as long as there is one person left who carries that flame of love and friendship in their heart. Only when that very last person is gone, will the other one be gone too. Behind the veil separating us, they’ll meet again.
My mum wrote long ago:
There is an old belief that on some distant shore, far from despair and grief, old friends will meet once more.’
You are such a beautiful soul, you will meet again on that distant shore once you’ve been called 💙🙏🤗🥰
This is beautiful, Tess. You have such a way with words. I'm sorry for yet another loss. You are becoming such an open-hearted warrior, forged in the fires of pain, so that you can continue to make your time here count, and build your legacy. ❤️
Sorry for your loss. A heartfelt tribute from you to a dear friend. Nothing prepares us, there is never a point where you are ready for someone to move on. My core group of peeps has been drifting out of this world, blown by the winds of fate at an alarming pace. I ponder at times if I will be one of the ones who tears a hole in the world and leaves unexpectedly, or shall I be the one who looks around realizing that no one is left. At the end of it all we have is our memories, and as such I am trying to ensure that there are memorable moments. The hardest thing I've experienced in life is letting life go.
Me too. and thank you for this genuine response. It is a heartbreaking and very honest - the hardest thing is letting go. I wonder the same thing, am I next, and I know what it is like to look around and realize no one is left. No one who I started this life with anyway. So I guess one of the hardest things is also figuring out how to continue forward given that fact; which I do my best at, but I fall short all the time. I am sorry you are having to experience the same thing. & you’re right, the only thing that matters is love and the memories we make with other people. ❤️
"Naomi NEVER spoke an unkind or disrespectful or angry word toward me. Never. That is an unbelievable feat, to finish the cycle of this incarnation and have people you leave in your wake that can truly say that about you."
I can't aspire to "never" but I can aspire to nevermore. So shall it be. 🙏🙏🙏
It's a good thing to wonder. We all determine that with every single passing day. We are all living legacies in process, determined by how we make those around us feel.
However, given my brief exchanges with you, and the energy you emit, I would think that answer would be YES.
This is a beautiful eulogy, thank you for sharing it with us. Condolences and gratitude ❤️🔥
How do you comfort such loss?
Maybe, as I am learning from a storm,
( Mo Anam croi, Anfa.)
You remember to live,
Remember love,
Love, and live.
❤️
Please read Psalm Chapter 13 🩵🙏☕

You're welcome beauty.

Synchronicitous. I was writing a poem last night called “nevermore”. I love what u shared and I’ll do my best to do the same.
You are already my friend.
You are an open hearted warrior forged from rock bottom. Sorry for your loss, friend
Condolences.
thank you. 🙏
I wonder 💭
Will I have anyone writing about Me fondly or at all after I’m gone❓
It's a good thing to wonder. We all determine that with every single passing day. We are all living legacies in process, determined by how we make those around us feel.

Very much agreed.
Thank you for sharing yours. I awoke with a sick heavy sadness today I appreciate getting to hear someone else’s experience. Thank you. 🙏
Here is to both Shannon and Naomi. Forever young, beautiful, and Love.
