and she's gone.

[lapsedagnostic]

Someone once told me that after you die, you are greeted on the other side by those people whose funeral you attended. If this is true, then when I get there, Caitlin will already have the camp laid out, her pavilion up, and be lounging in her comfy chair, waiting patiently for the rest of us. I can't tell you how much I want to believe that.

I mourn her, and all the things that didn’t get created because she’s not here to create them, all the things that didn’t get taught because she didn’t get a chance to teach them, all the people who no longer get to see her smile, enjoy her hug, feel her love.

I celebrate her full life, and an ending that included a house full of people that loved her, and whom she loved. It was a life well worth living.

We'll bend an elbow, or two in her name, yes?

So I guess we will have to create the things she hadn't gotten to yet.
Teach the things she would have taught
And share the smiles, hugs and love she shared with us

This is a beautiful remembrance of a woman who is known to me as having had such a remarkable impact on the people she loved.

Our thoughts are with all of you...

Most likely she'll have a good book, or 2,000 too. I want to believe it too.

Such nice things you've said. See you soon.
