lullofish says:

Some days ago, a friend of mine died. Tina was very sick, since many years, but so calm and quite that to stay near her was like to stay under a tree in a summer day. There is no way to replace a friend like her. I'm sad, but today I want to say that I'm grateful I met her.

Sad to hear lullofish. I haven't had to deal with a loss like this yet in my life. Reading your words makes me more grateful for the wonderful folks I have around me.

Such a nice description, lullofish. I am sorry for your loss.
