It is heartbreaking when the brightest among us, the talented, the passionate, the daring, leave us far too soon. It is their depth of feeling, their great capacity to learn, live and love that make them so vulnerable in this life. It is also what makes them worth knowing, mourning, and remembering.
My heart goes out to you. There are no words that can ease your pain, but I take comfort in knowing that this life is merely the wink of an eye and soon enough you'll see your Megan again, vibrant and vital, probably with an apologetic smile as she runs towards you. It's not what I believe. It's what I know to be true.
