I thought I would be happier without you, but I'm not. I feel empty inside, like something's missing. It's like I'm an empty shell going around doing the daily routine of life, but I have no passion or real energy to put into myself.
Besides the turmoil that is going on in my own life, I received news this morning that one of my best friends' father passed away. He had been sick for a long time, but even though the family knew it was coming it doesn't make it any easier to lose someone you love. I can't even imagine losing my own dad and my heart goes out to her and her family. I want to be supportive and be there for her, but I'm not sure what to say. There's only so many I'm sorry's a person can hear. Maybe there isn't a right thing to say, but just let the person know that you are there for them even if it is just sitting with them in silence or letting them cry into your arms. I can't say I know how she feels because I have never experienced something like the death of a parent, but she is such a strong person that I know she will push through this tough time. Her father held on for so much longer then expected. I think it was because of the love he had for his family and the closeness they all shared. It is a beautiful thing to see a family be so connected to each other and because of their love he was able to live years past what was expected. I love you Katie. You are the happiest person I know and you light up a room with your personality. "Just keep swimming."
