Grieving


It's been hard to blog lately. May has been a sad month. I've lost a dear friend, and my sister has lost her dog. My friend Annie passed away May 15 in circumstances most of us are not quite sure what happened.
I could ask questions forever, but it will never bring Anne back or help me or my friends grieve.
The true cause can never be understand because of multiple factors. So I grieve, but continue to dance as a way to show my love for Anne. Anne was a unique person in my circle of friends. She said I was her "doppelganger". She loved dance and dance music. She loved animals. She was very fond of cats. She Loved. She also was good at generating love where there was hate. She was very outgoing and caring. She worked as a social worker, and volunteered her time outside of work for various forms of charity. To me the most interesting thing about Anne that I didn't know before was that at birth she had only been given a year to live! To me that's just amazing!!! I mean defying odds, and yet living with that fact tucked away in your mind. She really did live like most people only dream of. She knew what it meant to be living and to live your life.
I her short 25 years she did more that most people in 75 years! She was awesome and truly unique. I will miss her dearly.


Almost a year ago in July I lost my friend Ephraim. He was another dancer that had nothing but good vibes to bring to the club. It was really tough for me to venture back out after that. The reason was that when I would go out I'd think to myself, "well if no one is there, Ephraim will be there...dancing." Same thing with Anne. Now things are different. Although I'm not gonna stop dancing it's helps me fight any sorrow and keeps me moving. I Loved those kids, they will both be missed deeply forever.
