The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I have not written an entry on this site for years, but, today it is time to. A friend of mine passed today who was close to me in my youth. This is very unfortunate, because she had passed in her youth. Reading these entries from 2006 bring back A LOT of memories, and posting here is like reliving them. Especially when writing after loss. She will not come back as the undead, but the best part of who she was will live inside of us, and can never be taken away. She was a good listener, and at the time, a troubles soul, as I was, and as we all are, at least in part. It is interesting to reflect on how often conflicts end in death. They are not always resolved in death, but they end in death. Death is a release. Whether that death is positive or negative, and if that person has found grace at the end of their lives, it is still a release. A finality. A passing. A close of a chapter of your life which the turn page has been glued to the next for years. It especially doesn't help when the death occurred at the time you are in conflict with your spouce. You think of the consequences of losing all of your loved ones. It is just another replay of your life's failures that could have been prevented if you committed to staying the course, or acted at the right time without procrastination. Death effects EVERYONE, whether positively, or negatively, and/or both. It is the ultimate reflection, because it is the absolute separation while in this state. One day, we're all going to be passed words and a reflection, if the graves have not yet been opened. It is never too early or too late to reflect on a life which effected you. It allows you to value your existence more. Be at peace, my friend. I pray for you, and a completed race. If you are there now, pray for us, too....
