Tribute to Ali

Hi,

Ali Loved Life! This was her Halloween Costume!
How I miss her! 

(In going through my posts I realized this one was written but never published and I am now posting it).
My sweet friend Ali didn't survive her tragedy, she passed away. As I have gone through the grieving of not having her around, I have evaluated my life. I have thought about her and her life. I have come to realize the impact of one person. Ali's impact on my life is so great. There were moments in my life I wanted to give up and she wouldn't let me. There were small things that at the moment seemed so big and Ali would say, Don't cry, it isn't that big of a deal.
Ali knew how to light up a room and she was true to herself. She was a friend to all who met her. She was easy to talk to.
As I have thought about the many memories with her, I realized that Ali's life was always in the act of service! She knew how to make people laugh and she knew how to deal with people. I love her for that.
In reflecting back, it has made me realize just how special life is and how we don't know what tomorrow will bring! One thing I do know is we need to live our lives in away that is true to who we are. I love you Ali!

As Always thanks for reading!
