I wish I had 10 more minutes...

Joni, my dearest friend, a person that meant more to me than words can describe. I lost her one day, suddenly. She collapsed of a brain aneurysm and died almost instantly. I was there...I will never forget that morning, how peaceful it was as I awoke.. then my life changed.

I am so glad I was with you when you passed, even though the images of that day are hard for me. I hope you were not in pain and comforted by me by your side. I miss you every day and will never forget you. I hear you laugh...it cheers me up. It has been a little over three months now, and I want to tell you that you are so greatly missed every minute of every day and I have a space in my heart that will be you forever...
