Words of a Geekette to another ...
Recently, I haven’t been having the best of thoughts…. I lost a dear friend, daughter, little sister, colleague… I think she was almost everything to me on a personal and professional level.
I thought of writing a tribute, or a memorial or a poem but I don’t think whatever I call it, it will sum up to the emotional bond that linked us. All I know is I had to write because in one way it will help me understand or accept or let go… but of what? I still don’t exactly know.
I thought of comparing her but to what? who? I can’t seem to think straight.
Not yet a week that she is gone but so hard to move on, work, laugh, chat, and especially smile. All these we did together but what she was reputed for and best at was #SMILING … So wide it illuminated every place she came in, it warmed the heart of any who saw her, calmed the anger you could have and made you forget any grudge you wanted to hold.
I’m writing and still don’t know what I want to say exactly but I write to heal my own heart, to release my emotions and accept the fact that you are gone forever …. but like the french say “far from sight, close to the heart” You are closer to my heart now than ever.
I surely will keep the best legacy you showed all through your short but beautiful life here on earth… YOUR SMILE. You were the happiest leader, always serving others and leading in wisdom and encouragement at such a young age. You did what adults given a 100 years would surely not have done so brilliantly.
A leader, entrepreneur, creative brain and beautiful flower gone to brighten God’s garden.
Let the angels water and love you… for I know you have a special spot in God’s beautiful garden.
May your soul find that peace only He can give and rest assured you live in our hearts forever…
#DassilvaSmileAttitude
A motto now well sealed in my heart…. Smile no matter what it takes.
