A memory of long ago says
Greetings family of Diane
When I was about 40 years younger, (just a dumb angry kid ) Diane and I would talk about problems that no other adult would explain to me in a way that I could understand . She was incredibly smart , her understanding of other people and why they behaved the way that they did was so insightful. She could communicate on a level about her thoughts and feelings of others with out judgement or hate.
I can not tell you the number of times when she calmed the anger and frustration of the day with her words of understanding and honesty
She could tell you that are worst about your self but at the same time explain why she felt that way. She could express herself in a way that never made you feel less than.
I have not spoken with her in over 30 years and I am most likely just a name in her past . but she was one of my first real friends. I have thought about her often over the years but choose not to visit that part of my life.
God bless and take care of each other –the world is a little colder now.
