I just want to write a memorial for my dear friend who I know is with Jesus.
I miss her very much and even now get teary thinking about how her life got cut short, but, I want to remember the good things about her that made me smile.
Those that knew her were quite often bowled away by her beauty and sunny nature. She was tall, almost amazonian and had a model-perfect figure. But inwardly few people knew she at times struggled...
I remember the first time we met over a cup of tea and chocolate bickies. Actually I was 'introduced' to her even though we both went to the same high school, it was such a big high school that we kinda never hang around. I had been ill, and, my social worker was trying to comfort me, to no avail. I felt I had no friends. I wanted to meet someone like me who had been through what I'd been through..and Iraena was that friend.
That day we bonded and talked about movies and fun things, and also the illness we had that made us do crazy things. She reassured me it was cos I was super-intelligent rather and special instead of thinking I had it cos I was inferior. And that having this illness, you find out who your real friends are. That turned out to be true in Iraena's life.
I will post a bit more when got time.
