For My Dear Friend, Tina. I visited grandma this weekend and as always, asked about you and your family. I�m having a hard resigning myself to what she said. Time wasn�t supposed to run out�not before I had the chance to tell you that even though we didn�t talk�I love you�time to tell you that no matter what, you�re part of my heart and memory and who I am. Our lives changed and we lost touch but I always thought about you and asked about you. You were, and will always be, my dear, sweet friend�and some of the best parts of my childhood... So many memories �from when we were kids all the way until we were grown and you brought little Brittany to grandma�s �and her and Tyler played. You were so proud of her and she was so cute in her tiny pink coat. We caught up on what had been happening during the few years since we�d talked. Since then, too many years have passed and I know so little about the person you became�and now I�m robbed of the chance to hear it from you. We�re all robbed�everyone who loves you and wishes for more time. I wish we hadn�t grown apart�I wish I�d used the time to tell you how much you�ve always meant to me�but I know I�ll see you again. As kids we were too busy being silly to pay close attention at meetings and assemblies or in service�but even so, we loved Jehovah and our brothers and sisters very much�as well as what were being taught. I know that never left your heart. Grandma says that little Brittany is growing into �quite a good girl�pretty and sweet� �I know the rest of your family are also good and sweet�they have good hearts and they�ll see you again too. Gone is not forever�just a rest until forever begins. Until then, I�ll miss you and love you. You�re friend, Holly
