My friend Renee passed away unexpectedly last Wednesday from complications due to diabetes. Ours was not a "Let's grab a coffee and chat" friendship. We were somehow closer because she was also my massage therapist and when you bare your body to somebody, you also bare your soul in some ways. I saw her every month for over six years and I will miss her dearly. Most of the time our sessions were not very relaxing because we were too busy laughing over the stories we told each other about work, family, pets, and children. The massage was just a bonus. Renee was the one for whom I made the Greensleeves painting. She called me at work last week to tell me that she had saved my present to open on Christmas day. She told me how much she loved it and how it was hanging in her bedroom right now. I was thrilled and we spoke about when we were going to meet next. Then I received a call on Friday telling me that Renee had passed away. She was only 43. Life is short kids. Live it up and laugh a lot. See ya on the other side, Renee...
