haven't written in a while..might make me feel better? feel anything?
if it's really you I'm having conversations with in my mind.
Maybe it's just that I want to hear you so terribly
that I attempt to make it seem realistic enough to believe.
But you're around me,
in everything, everywhere
and right when I need it you show me the love that still exists.
That's when I truly remember and know you're still here with us.
It's been a rough few months, s l o w l y realizing you're not physically here with us anymore.
We believed you were stronger than the cancer..and you were.
You beat it by resting peacefully, it cannot hurt you anymore.
You are safe; home.
Parisa literally translates to "little angel,"
That's what you were.
That's what you are.
You're the short, happy angel we all love and adore.
I heard tonight that to be loving is to be fully alive,
and if this is true, you excelled P.
You embraced love.
You expressed love.
You lived love.
You showered love on every single person in this world.
They thank you.
We thank you.
I thank you.
Continue to let that bright light of yours shine through every day:
it changes lives.

to be loving is to be fully alive
I'm sitting here wonderingif it's really you I'm having conversations with in my mind.
Maybe it's just that I want to hear you so terribly
that I attempt to make it seem realistic enough to believe.
But you're around me,

and right when I need it you show me the love that still exists.
