Jasmine! I keep hoping that this is a bad dream ...
I will miss taking you places and the conversations that we would have when you needed a ride. You often told me stories about when you were growing up and what you guys had been through.
Through those stories I came to understand how much you loved your family and that they were the most important aspect of your life, especially your beautiful daughter Johanna. It was obvious just how proud you were of all if them.
I know I never told you, but I looked up to you for so many reasons. When I first met you, you were just learning to live a sober life, and you did it with ease.
You never told me no or hesitated to help me when I asked for it. I will never forget you and Brittany coming all the way to my house when you got off work just to give my sick cat a suppository because I was too chicken to do so, lol.
It all seems so unfair, especially to Johanna. I wish someone could explain why God takes some at a young age while others live to be over 100.
You were an amazing person, beautiful inside and out. I feel so blessed to have been able to call you my friend. I know you will be up there looking down on all of us, patiently waiting until you are reunited with the ones you love.
I need your help one more time Jasmine. Please put a good word in for me. Tell God I can explain! I hope you are able to tell Him despite some of my actions, I'm really not that bad and that I was a good friend to you.
I believe that all of us serve a purpose on Earth, that we are born with a predetermined number of heartbeats and that when we fulfill our purpose here, and our hearts beat the very last of those predetermined number of beats, that's when God calls us home.
Jasmine, sadly, and way too soon, you fulfilled your purpose, your heart beat its very last beat, and God took you home to be one of His angels.
I am thankful for the short amount of time that we were friends. I will miss you and I hope to see you there amongst the faces when it's my turn.
Until we meet again....
