I wanted to take a moment and talk about a wonderful friend of mine, Aimee, who passed away today, surrounded by family and friends, after loosing her battle with Cystic Fibrosis.
Aimee and one of my daughters
She and I have been friends for about 13 years, after we met in high school. We’ve had some awesome times together, full of fun and laughter. But, with Aimee, it was always that way. She always had a smile. Aimee was one of the most warm and caring people I’ve ever known. She was usually more concerned about other people than herself, even when she was sick. Her heart was so big and full of love to give. Aimee was also a rebel and highly opinionated. She wasn’t afraid to tell you what she thought. But, I think that’s why she had so many people that loved her. Aimee was an aunt to my children, and a dear, dear friend to me. She was also a wonderful daughter and sister, and to Aimee, her family was everything. While it saddens me to think of life without her here, I am comforted and delighted with the knowledge of where she is now, and the amazing memories I will carry with me forever.
Mike also wrote about Aimee on his blog.
