Too Soon

Nayla, why?
When you didn't call today I laughed and thought how I would tease you for forgetting my birthday. Well I am certainly not laughing now. I know that you have been called away to a better place, but until we meet again, I am really going to miss you. I keep wondering who will say the rosary with me, who is going to have that cold glass of beer with me and eat green almonds. I will remember you every time I say the rosary and every time I have a cold beer, and I will miss you more.
I tried to pray for you, but I think it is you who has to pray for me and all the people you have left behind. Your stay on earth was timed and you left on the Feast of the Ascension. I can only imagine how many saints will be waiting to receive you as you leave the ranks of mortals and step into a realm of everlasting life.
Until we meet again my dear friend, rest in peace and remember us fondly.
Nayyoulti I will miss you...
