I have lost a few people in my life.
Each time it happens it's painful and changes you forever.
Loss takes many different forms, but death shows you how much your life means to everyone, especially if you have ever doubted how much others care for you.
Today I lost a wonderful woman who loved life, her children, her husband and being a strong independent woman.
She was stubborn, argumentative, and always in a rush.
Stubborn about putting everyone before herself...
Argumentative with those who didn't want to take advantage of her generosity...
and always in a rush to take someone somewhere...or help in any way she could.
Today I said goodbye and thought about all of the ways she used to say things.
I thought about how she spoke, how names sounded when she said them...
I thought about her life... and learned about the parts I never knew.
Today I mourned for the future of her children, and how hard life will be without their mother.
Today I said goodbye to a fiercely independent woman.
Rest in Peace Gail Wagner, you are loved and missed.
