My Friend, It's Been Ten Years...

by Mari Robeson in


Ten years ago I lost a great friend...coincidentally that same day was my birthday...Therefore each year I celebrate a great person on a special day to me...
My yearly ritual includes my girls and I sitting on a bench that we had dedicated to her by the creek in San Luis Obispo. My goods friends, Stephen and Todd, really were the ones that made that happen. (the bench) I will always be grateful for them for that. The girls always make a little boat out of leaves and we put our wishes in the leaf boat and send it down the creek. Today we were visited by two beautiful male ducks who hung out with us while we were there.
I don't believe life ends when our bodies do. I know my friend is with me all the time. She is the reason behind my logo and a million other things...Today the girls asked what was so special about her...
Miss Pat was more alive than anyone I have ever met. She had a contagious energy that everyone was drawn to. She was an inspiration... a true teacher of positive thinking. She taught me the joy of dance and the importance of real friendship...I miss her vibrant smile and passion for living but knowing her has made me a better person and I love her so much for that...
