So sorry to hear of Laura's passing. We shared a flat whilst Laura was at The University of Nottingham and kept in touch in recent years through Facebook. I'll be forever grateful for her enthusiatic support of the creative writing projects which I was working on a few years back. I'll miss her humour, warmth and strength of character. Much love.

Visiting Hours 

Lyrics

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

So I could just show up and bring the news

That she's gettin' older and I wish that you'd met her

The things that she'll learn from me, I got them all from you

Can I just stay a while and we'll put all the world to rights?

The little ones will grow and I'll still drink your favorite wine

And soon, they're going to close, but I'll see you another day

So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

So I could just swing by and ask your advice

What would you do in my situation? I haven't a clue how I'd even raise them

What would you do? 'Cause you always do what's right

Can we just talk a while until my worries disappear?

I'd tell you that I'm scared of turnin' out a failure

You'd say, "Remember that the answer's in the love that we create"

So much has changed since you've been away

I wish that heaven had visiting hours

And I would ask them if I could take you home

But I know what they'd say, that it's for the best

So I will live life the way you taught me, and make it on my own

And I will close the door, but I will open up my heart

And everyone I love will know exactly who you are

'Cause this is not goodbye, it is just 'til we meet again

So much has changed since you've been away

Please accept my condolences. I am sorry to hear of Laura's passing. Laura and I met at GMU-volunteering in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina.  I have always admired her love of learning and her kindness. I am thinking of her and her family.

"Laura, you were indisputably the prettiest princess at that wedding, and your hair was *perfect*. That entire weekend was the happiest of my life, and it wasn't just because I was gettin married to Eric. Y'all bridesmaids brought me so much joy! Even now, when I'm sad or struggling, I can draw strength in remembering your faces, your hugs, your perfect loud-ass laughter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." — with Laura Harris and Rachel Casebolt
