(((((((Maia))))))))))

I am so sorry to hear of the death of your dear friend. I have always thought of you as real gem to all of us here on Colon Club. You have always been a source of love, wisdom, intelligence and thru your research, an inspiration for hope.

Prayers and condolence on your loss.

Sending my deepest condolences, Maia, on the loss of your Dear Friend, your BFF, your confidante over the years. During your time of sorrow & feeling of great loss, may you find solace in knowing as her friendship was a gift, a blessing to you; equally was yours to her. Your relationship lives on in you & where it has led you.

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.
~John Churton Collins

I hope you never underestimate your contribution to her life, her journey...rather, find peace & acceptance in the value of what it brought both of you.
Warm embrace from afar...

Maia,

You were the shining light whose knowledge enlightened so many of us.

Remember that the power that guides us guides stars and galaxies too.

Please continue to be yourself in this time always as you are really special.

Maia may you have the strength to get through these days. I truly know what that's like. If you can feel the love we have for you then I know you can get one foot in front of the other. The true meaning of friendship is when you put your life aside to do what your friend needed. Blessings will surely be for you.

[Maia]

I'm so moved for your words that I don't really find what to say... thank you.
My friend posted a couple of times on the forum, here and here.
She was the sister I never had -and I was her 'mom, sis, amiga and everything', to quote her, in spite of a lot of troubles she went through, during the past year and a half. We were 6,000 miles/8,000 kilometers away, but each night, during 6 years, we would 'meet' in our dreams at a beach I would email her : ) . I've spent 12 days with her, there in Canada, during July 2012; that was our only 'in person' time ever.
I sent my last beach to her this past February 9th, when I got an incomprehensible email from her account -I've realized she couldn't longer handle the email.
I so wish there is some way to meet her again.
She was the most loving person you can imagine, extremely talented (she was an artist), admired and loved by so many.
I'm rambling, I'm sorry. I'd like to say more, I can't right now. But I didn't want you to think that I didn't read your lovely words.
I came to this forum for her, 3 years ago, but since 2 years ago I've stayed here only because of you, my fellows. I love you -the ones who already departed, the ones who are here.
I'm reading some of our years of emails, with her, and laughing and crying. Which means... living, I guess, since life is both.
Thank you, again.

I so wish there is some way to meet her again.

You will my friend and she will tell you what you meant to her.
We have already told you here, what you mean to us.

Love Peace and Harmony across the miles
