this february will be the tenth year anniversary
of when I lost a friend to cancer and there's times I still can't believe it
but I'm so grateful for all the time we got to spend
in pescadero, point reyes, mendocino, san rafael, and fairfax
though I'm reminded of her passing especially when it rains
somehow the wonder of life always remains
and every christmas I get pictures of her growing daughter
and her face looks more and more and more and more and more and more and more like her mother's
