Anne Sophie... You knew how I felt; you knew I'd never be accepting this early exit. For that I am angry with you. There is no dignity in death, only an exit. But I guess that is what you wanted… or a part of you anyway. The part that couldn't see how many people cared about you. Even if they didn't show it the way you wished they would. You needed someone to love you the way you loved and cared for others, so that you had something to live for. And for that, I am angry with myself and the world. You offered so much to the people in your world. Your kindness, compassion, and unselfishness in life was a guiding light that I wish I, and everyone, would have looked up to. I will miss you terribly. I'll miss: - Your funny smirk when you put you puckered lips to the one side of your face - Your sarcasm at my ill-conceived notions of superiority, that brought me back to earth. - Your uncontrollable laughter when we joked at other people expense. - Your un-wavering passion for all sports things in Colorado and Ilya Kovalchuk. I'll miss that will never do the things we talked about do together. Watching the entire Dragon Ball series together. Playing and winning in Holland next year... Now you'll never "pay-up" on that bet we had that I'd still be in Paris by spring (you know the bet, 🙂 ) Most of all, I’ll miss the opportunity to talk together years and years from now laughing about how stupid we were when we were in our early 30s... Good Bye Anne Sophie. Kiss
