After telling my Mom a friend has passed away, "her name was Chelsie, she was at my bridal shower". Her response reminded me of what a remarkable girl she is. "The beautiful runner, with the big pretty smile, who sat next to Liz?"
Yes. My mom does not remember people, let alone names. But Chelsie had a gift of leaving an impression on anyone she met.
I am grateful we bonded over the Obama election, but I wish I took the chance to get to know her more. I wish I had the words and strength to heal those closest to her. But I don't. But I will always be grateful, I will pray for her family and dearest friends, and I will run.
