My Dear Dear Friend

I've sat down so many times in the last two days trying to find the words to say... It is so hard to believe your life is over, that you are no longer here.. The simple thought sends me into many tears...
Asia, you were a woman that had come threw and accomplished so much. You were a transparent person, you constantly told me things like they were, no sugar coating. Thank you so very much for always being REAL with me. I knew you only 5 months, but it feels like years. You were able to put me in my place and still encourage and love me all at the same time. You were so wise and so giving.
I know you had many other better friends that you had known longer, but you still accepted me as a close friend. You are a forever friend. I think I knew that the week we met. It is so hard to accept the 'shortness' of this forever. I love you my dear friend. I'll never forget you. You are unforgettable. I am honored to be able to do your nails one last time. I will miss our talks and fun designs... there is such a hole in my heart with you gone.
Thank You God for bringing Asia into my life, I have learned and grown so much, I Pray she is with you in a better place. Far from senseless acts.
