Figs … without Bri.

October 27, 2009 | 23 Comments

Two things in my garden constantly remind me of Briana who left us this day a year ago.

This fig tree

Figs are my favourite fruit. Bri adored them.

and

this crimson bloom.

It’s from a bulb Bri’s family distributed at her memorial service.

Bri lives in my garden and in my heart.

    I have known Bri for a very short time through your space. She remains. Her broad smile is something that keeps coming back.

    Not really, no. The “without” that is. She does live on through Marc, her family, her friends and their memories.

    Hugs to you.

    A touching tribute to the woman who brought such joy to so many in her all too short life span. Bri’s physical life may have ended but clearly her relationship with all who loved her lives on. Peace, Bee/Jai….

    A very thoughtful tribute. I did not know Bri, but fished through your previous posts to learn more. She has been a great warrior. In my cancer support blog, I see lot of people fighting the big C and some losing the battle too. Hopefully,in spite of losing some battles, we will ultimately win the war.Peace. My wishes and prayers for Bri’s friends & family.

    May she continue to rest in peace.

    Its said that some people somehow secretly edge their way in to our hearts. I can feel how much space she has taken in your heart Bee. Lovely tribute from a wonderful friend to an equally wonderful soul.
