Before her time

Beck Star

Tear drops fall on my key board as I recall the times and memories of a friend as I just learned that she has left this earth and gone home. It seems a lot harder when you are close to them and especially when they are so young makes it even harder. We had an interesting past that I can recall so clearly like it was yesterday. We met almost ten years ago in Provo UT, as she was roommates with my friend Jenny. There was something special about the girl I met that night named Becky being tall athletic long hair and a beautiful smile something about her personality struck me. That night we met the two of us ended up going to a place called Betos in Provo to get some food, every time I see that place I think of the first time I went there with her. We kept in contact for a long time and for a while faded away. I left on my mission to St.Louis maybe over a year of being out I wrote her and she wrote me back and we started something while writing one another something special back then we sent pictures to each other and wrote letters constant I had never been so happy to get the mail for when we were writing, her letters made me so happy and would always cheer me up. We wrote for a long time, I came home and things did not turn out as we hoped for we met up and tried to see one another just did not turn out as good as we talked about or wanted, I guess the lord had a different plan. We both moved on with our lives I always wondered how she was but we lost contact. Many years had passed I moved to Salt Lake City, had not heard from her in years until one night last summer my mom called me telling me Becky Williams called looking for me and left her number. I called her and got in touch and we both got caught up with one another’s lives and how everything was going. Some times she would come to my work and bring Brooklyn to see me I have to admit she has the cutest daughter and she will be a wonderful girl growing up and she will have many great qualities about her mom that many people will see in her. She was a great friend, she texted me last October about the news of her finding out she had cancer and that was hard to swallow. Since then I have tried to be a great friend and lend a hand or help how ever and just let her know I am here as a friend to try and comfort her, I am not sure if it helped but I sure hope I made her smile and made her days better. Lot of times as of late I would call her and leave a voice mail letting her know I am thinking of her and praying for her along with texting her and wishing her well. We all know the lord has a plan for us but some times its hard to understand, she is back home and not suffering anymore here on earth. She has touched many through her life and impacted a lot of those people along her journey she may not know it but she has, she was and is a special person and will always and truly be missed in the hearts of the ones she loved and the ones that loved her.

God be with you till we meet again in heaven

Love

You’re Friend
