how to describe these emotions?
I am not sure. Grief, I guess.
Someone I knew in college whom I stayed connected to on social media passed away two days ago.
Due to updates I came across on my social media, I learned of this today. Like 20 min ago.
Was trying to avoid social media this week, I had noticed I was spending too much time on it. Today I decided to go on my Facebook and saw these news.. and my heart sunk. Or disappeared? I feel so empty and scared. I can't believe it. I was convinced she was going to be fine. She was fighting so hard. All her updates on her surgeries, hospital visits, etc were so inspiring. She was tough and was determined to keep living.
One of her frequent hashtag's was #gottakeepliving - and I loved that.
We weren't close, we liked each others posts and had classes together back in college - I can hear her voice and see her smile and I just cannot even believe it. She was so great!
I know she lives on in some way, not sure where or how.
I don't like talking about her like "she is gone" because she isn't gone, she never will be. Just her physical body is gone, everything we knew about her is still alive... but where? I don't know. I know she was funny, talented, strong, and loving. I wish I got to know her better.
Glad and blessed to have known her and been connected to her nonetheless.
Wherever you are Danielle, enjoy.
Thank you for the imprints you left in our lives and in our hearts.
We HAVE TO do our best, and do good with our precious short lives. We gotta.
