Sharon!
I've been taking a lot of "pensive walks" lately. And... It's so hard to accept that you aren't there and I can't make you come with me... That was something I was planning to do. Make you come on walks with me so that I could just talk to you. And every time I think that you're gone, I feel so empty.
But... then I close my eyes for a few moments and I hear the wind blowing past, birds chirping, trees rustling... And something about it all makes me feel your presence all around me. So I guess I don't take those walks alone. Maybe I'm never alone now.
At the fair on Tuesday... Looking at all those rides we went on together at Foster City was so awkward... To know that just a couple of weeks back you were there with us looking at the same rides.
But... After taking a bunch of rides, I began feeling kind of dizzy. I decided that maybe if I closed my eyes the rides wouldn't be so bad. So I closed my eyes. And even through the laughs of the other people, the noise of the ride, I began hearing you laughing like you did just recently on the same rides, began feeling that you were there again.
So... you haven't really gone anywhere. You're still here. We just can't rely on our eyes anymore. And we can't really understand anything you say, because, unfortunately, not many of us speak wind or tree or bird. But... Someday we'll all join you and then you can tell us everything you said to us.
Until then, these memories of you are the greatest treasure.

Looks like I'm the first one to sign this...
Sharon, there's so much to say, but I can't seem to get the words out. I'm sure you of all people though realize how inarticulate I can get when I'm spazzed and stressed...
I was "cleaning" up my room the other day and I found my Harry Potter wand and I remembered how 1/15 of it technically still, and always will, belong to you. That one little stick with a pretty little rock on the end triggered so many memories...and all of those came from the same day.
It's incredible how so many things remind me of you...even something as simple as a little stick.
I feel kinda crazy saying this, but for some reason when I think of the times that I went through after you passed...Relay for Life, the Fair, the park...it feels like you were there and I can see you there with your bright smile and your maniacal cackle. Maybe I'm just going crazy...we all saw it coming.
Wherever you are Sharon, you will always be in my heart.
