Adrianne, it's been 3 months since you left us. I still miss you like crazy. Time has healed the initial sting of losing such a great friend, but I still break down from time to time. I'm so grateful now that you were so opinionated because almost everything I see reminds me of you. I just close my ears and I can still hear you telling me how you feel about the world. I used to resent that. But now, it brings a smile to my face and warm memories of you. I am a better person for having known you, I hope you know that. I watched Bride Wars the other day with my mom. Although you and I were never joined at the hip, I bawled for a very long time after because you were a fantastic friend and I miss you so much! I want to tell you why I cry. I cry because I would give anything to have you back. I cry because there are times I could really use your friendship. I cry because I feel jipped that I didn't get to spend more time with you. I cry because so many more people in this world could have had their lives as blessed as mine by having known you too. I cry because I love you. But I also want to tell you why I smile. I smile because I know you're happy. I smile because I know you're spreading your wit and charm all over the spirit world right now. I smile because you'll still be with your family forever. I smile because you left a huge mark in all our lives and your example will never be forgotten. I miss you, but I know I'll see you again. I love you Adrianne. I just wanted to remind you of that fact.
