For Elka

To Me

Your sky-blue eyes sparkled with a ceaseless vigor and force. To me, they were the most alluring and stunning eyes I ever saw.

Your laughter was desirably comical and playful, a jocose laughter that lit up the room. To me, it was the most whimsical laughter I ever heard.

Your smile beamed with a twinkle that even eyes can’t seem to replicate. To me, it was an invitation to all the kindness and warmth you carried within.

Your life was undoubtedly admirable, precious, and much loved. To me, there will never be another YOU.

YOU were that unconditional human being who loved with all her strength, might, and will. To me, you will always be, through time and space, “my very best friend.”

Julissa
