She was…

She is…

She always will be my soul friend.

Ten days without her and the sobs keep catching in my throat and releasing through streams of tears.

I only knew her for ten months, and yet her impact left an indelible mark on my heart (and on my arm because of our matching tattoos).

We used to marvel at how special our bond was even though we knew each other for such a short time. That’s the thing about time. No matter how we quantify it, its quality is mystical, beyond words and worlds. And that’s the thing about soul friends. No matter how much time we spend with them, they change our lives for the better.

My life will always be so much brighter, sweeter, and fuller because I got to love Linds. I will always love her and vow to never forget the time we had together. My hope is that anyone who spent a fraction of time with her will remember her from time to time. That they will use the time they have in this life to live vibrantly and boldly, just like Linds did. I love you, Linds and always will with all the time I have left in me.
