my girl has gone and left me.
are they the words from a song?
september 3rd 2007 my friend said goodbye to this world that we all gather on, and no doubt, marched on to the next.
she arrived in my life only a few short years ago - we met through dogs - she had two and i wanted twelve!
gradually a friendship developed
one of a closeness that never felt too close
one of so much laughter
one of rage and hissy fits
one of a deep understanding of what each of us felt and needed.
she was a fire cracker - ready to go off at any moment
she made me feel safe and scared all at the same time
never quite sure when she was about to voice her opinion loudly and make me want the room/shop/road to swallow me up!
she was a proud and stubborn woman who was my friend and now she has gone..
the sadness i feel takes my breath away and yet a deep anger lays just beneath the surface.
annie - my girl - i will always
dye my hair
remember lipstick and mascara
believe in myself
stop over worrying about the damm dogs!
love my boy forever
and take care of yours.
i love you girlie
and where ever you are don't take any crap from anyone!

I am so sorry to read this post, only you know how you feel. Be strong as your dear friend obviously wanted you to be, it is ok to cry when you think of her but it is also ok to laugh. Believe me I know, September is not my easiest month either.
take care

Sorry. What can anyone say? Lovely tribute. I lost a good friend a few years ago - every day I think of her and what she would say.

Hi Tracy,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I lost my closest friend six years back now and, probably like you and she, shared the best and the worst of times and came through it all our firendship intact. This carries me even now and I still Cherish all our little traditions, The Archers, Sunflowers perfume, Joyce Grenfell sketches.. Things like these and many more I hope will help you to feel the presence of such a good friend. Take Care x lynda

So sorry for the loss of your dear friend, this post is a lovely tribute to her.
How dreadfully sad.
What a lovely tribute Tracy - will you be able to get to the funeral?
I'm so sorry. Losing someone so special is always SO SO hard and nothing can really soothe the ache except time.
You will be in my prayers as will your sweet Annie.
It's so hard losing someone you love. What a beautiful tribute to her, she'll always be in your heart.
My thoughts are with you

So sorry to read about your loss. Good friends do not come along that often. What a sad time for you.
Take care

So sorry to read of your sad loss Tracy. I lost my dearest friend 20 years ago this year. It will be a horrid time for you, but as someone else has said, it's OK to cry, but it's OK to laugh too. Over time things will suddenly remind you of a special moment and you'll maybe grin to yourself and reminisce. She'll never be far from your thoughts. How lucky you are to have had her friendship, albeit for a relatively short time.
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that I am thinking about you ..
((hugs))
Kim
A beautiful tribute Tracy to your dear friend.
Hi Tracy,
It's hard to find words at moments like that. I hope you can find the support you need.
Take care. x
I'm so sorry Tracy! You've been through so much recently. I'm sorry I haven't been as supportive as I should have been and I'm very, very sorry about your loss. Huge hugs!!
Tracey, how awful for you, I am so sorry. Your words are really special and give a real insight into a lovely friendship, you will never forget her and she will always be close by, Lynn xxxxx
Oh Tracy - I'm so sorry. But what a beautiful tribute to such a very special friend. I'm sure she's looking down on you and smiling. Hugs. Sarah x
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a lovely tribute you wrote to her. I hope your pain eases as time goes by, but her memory will never fade.
I am so very sorry to have just found this post, and I hope things are looking up for you. This is a sweet tribute to your friend! I lost a lifelong childhood friend to cancer when she was only 23. I am positive she went to a better place and is now living life to the fullest.
