Inherited Friends
When Veronique died, it seems, I inherited her friends. I now talk to no less than ten people at least once a week that I didn't know before her death. Included amongst these are a few people that live out of the country, two of her ex-boyfriends, several random female friends, several ex-coworkers and her parents. This weekend about five of her friends (myself included) are going bowling. I have been procrastinating going out with a group of her friends for the last few weeks. The idea has been brought up numerous times but I always found an excuse not to make the plans. Well, I am all out of excuses, so bowling it is.
I miss her more than I can convey but I am starting to be able to sleep again and I can look at her pictures without crying and I can talk about her and laugh. I only call to hear her voicemail a few times a week now instead of every day. I miss her, I can never replace her and I will never stop missing her. But maybe that's why her friends have attached themselves to me. Maybe their company and mine in return will help ease the hurt and longing that we are all experiencing in one way or another.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
