Six months after Evelyn's passing, I still miss my friend every day. Most days I think she's still next door and that I should run over there and see her. It takes just a split second to remember. Evelyn already made her choice. She was ready to leave her earthly, crumbling body to receive the one she was meant to have all along; perfect and strong and in the presence of her savior. I'm happy for her. I'm also happy that because of God's grace in both our lives, I'll hug her again some day.
Living next to her was such a gift. She loved me perfectly and instantly. Her hospitality was expertly southern. Her generosity unfailing. Her stories never ending. I will always wish that I had spent more time with her but when I recite my memories of her, I am grateful for the times we shared and when she visits me in my sleep, it feels like I've been given another day with her. Good friends are from God; thank the Lord.
Much love,
Lexi Schorner
