Dear Libra,
My heart is heavy with sorrow, even though I know you would not like it. You, of all the people , where always full of optimism and always showed resiliency and courage. One would never know unless told, that you were battling an illness. You rarely talked about it and you never allowed yourself to be defined by it. You blamed nobody and never felt sorry for yourself. You generated so much positive energy, that everyone near you felt stronger and happier. I was trying to learn from you. You have taught me one of lifes most important lessons, that I am forever grateful for. You showed me that life is what we make of it, and not what is handed down to us. Your head was always up and your amazing smile kept shining like a beacon of hope. I have never seen such strength in anybody else.
You were my closest friend. You lifted me up more times that I can remember, always having words of encouragement or solace. I feel blessed that you crossed my path for three beautiful years. I hoped there would be many more. You will always be missed and never forgotten.
Love,
Val
