I had a feeling...
My friend Annalise has passed. She had been very ill for quite some time.
She was so lovely...When I lived in NYC on the Upper East Side, she lived in one of the apartments above me. I was on the 4th floor, she on the 5th. We became instant friends. She was super close to her family and I met her wonderful parents and siblings. She was a writer, and a great one. ( she liked Romance as a genre ). She lived all over the world, Scotland, Singapore, Australia. She had a million experiences in so many differnent locations.She knew she was fortunate to have so much yet I can't help feeling so sad at the loss of her.
We had kept in touch over the years. She had been very concerned about her beloved cat and I helped her ( or gave her a bunch of ideas) about finding someone to take the cat when the time came. That cat brought her so much joy as she convalaced.
She loved her house and I am so happy she passed there..She did so much work on it to make it a comfortable place to live...she knew she would not live much longer.
She was never married or had children but she had an incredible family and they were all so close. I am sure she was not alone in the end. I know she was broken hearted with the loss of both of her parents in 2023.
I love this poem that she included in the obiturary that she wrote for herself at the end of her life...
I am sure she is now in her parents arms and feeling all of the love from this dimension too.
Goodbye Annalise.
"In life, seek what you will. Experience it all. Soak it up. Time waits for no one. Home is where the heart is... and now it's calling me back to Scotland - that part of the world that sings in my blood and will forever be where I belong and find my rest."
