Everyone I know goes away, in the end



Last night, a very good friend of mine, one that I considered family, passed away.

Tasha Marie Bourne, better known as "Tomb", has left this world. Her heart stopped suddenly following a tough and rigorous battle with lymphoma. An orphan at age 12, Tasha never really had anyone to turn to. She saw me as her mentor and father figure.

Tasha... your time here on Earth mattered. You've touched my life as well as the lives of many others. I just... I just wish that someone as young as you didn't have to leave us.

Gods... am I even forming complete sentences? It's hard to concentrate...

May angels lead you in, Tasha.

"And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing for you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big...
God wouldn't let it live"

Well, let me start by saying that I found Tasha's death through my death space. When I was reading her blogs and looking at her site it just struck a cord with me. Her stories were so sad, and it just seemed like she struggled with so much. It may sound odd that a complete stranger is coming on here and posting a comment after this happened so long ago. I just felt that I should leave my condolences. Honestly I wish I could met her and so many other people before they left this world. I hope that wherever she is that she is happy and safe and that you take care of yourself too, for her sake. :)
