Ali my love,
It has been about a year and a half now and I wonder what it's like being kept in God's light as I know you are. So much has changed in my "Ally McBeal" life as you used to call it, and I know you would be smiling hearing all about it. I never understood being proud of the achievements of a friend until you.
Signs have been pointing my thoughts your way these past few days. I re- read the papers from when you left, coo-ed over your Brownie photograph, shed a tear for the fact that you had to feel your strength ebbing the way it did and had a moment when James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" came unbidden over the radio.
Your warmth and easy smile is what I remember. How you said, having only known me a week, that you couldn't imagine living on the other side of the world to me when I left England.
Love, Openness, Bravery... A life that was truly lived. That is what you are to me. And your candle burns forever bright.
I love you.
