Someone tells mom they are vegetarian.

“Whoa, we’re halfway there.
Ohhhhhh lemon on a pear.”

Every year, everything I have ever learned
in my lifetime, leads back to this:
the fires and the black river of loss
whose other side is salvation,
whose meaning none of us will ever know.

To live in this world
we must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your bones
knowing your own life depends on it; and,
when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Love knows no dimension, place or time. It transcends the physical world, far past the reaches of our earthly capabilities. Love is a flame of fire and light that will always be my beacon when all else seems to go dark.

And no matter what, love will always find us. Always.

That’s the thing about love. You think it’s gone forever and then it sparkles right back through about a hundred different galaxies to get to you. Lolusia’s love will continue to come thundering across the sky every night and right into my heart. Even though I cannot see her, I will always feel her. Even though she is swirling through the stars on a very, very big adventure to another time and place - I am certain she will continue to find me, as she will assure I remember her lessons of love.

Friendships don’t end - they dance on and endlessly on. Lolusia is my dance now. She was my turbo diesel universe and all the tiny stars within it. And she’ll always be the candle that lights the path on especially dark nights.

To earn the love of an old friend like Lolusia is the greatest gift the universe could ever given me. And so she is gone - and yet she remains. Right here. At my feet. Just like she always was.

She will run just as she did that first day I met her - scampering clumsily towards my feet. Yes, just as she did that first day we met her - when she promised a liftetime of laughter, kindness and adventure.

Lolusia, you are missed so much! 🖤
