Theresa Sez Is over. Dearest little Theresa has departed.

Alot has happened, and nothing has happened. My best cheerleader, my best friend has died. Whenever I would say 'Theresa says," and start off on my rant, my daughter would tease me mercilessly by saying,"Theresa SEZ,"...

The fact is Theresa aways said what she knew. She wasn't one of those people, like me, that would shoot her mouth off from the hip. I'm a lot like Rosana Rosana Danna. What's wrong with Violins in school? Yeah that's me. But, that wasn't Theresa. She had quite honestly one of the brightest minds ever give to a mortal. In fact she was epic.

I'm lost without her. It's been more than a month now since she died and while I was wondering what I would do with all the extra time I would have now that Theresa was gone...I realized something horrible. It isn't extra time at all. It's empty time.

I know many people thought Theresa lived a tiny life, but they were wrong. Theresa lived one of the largest lives I've ever had the privilege of observing. She used to point out how the observed experiment was altered just by being observed. I pray that I altered, added something to her life by the good fortune I had to 'observe' hers.

I have so much more to say, but today I received a photo of the darling Theresa and I need to observe it more, just for now. Good bye my dear friend til we meet again. I love you.
