A part of you dies when you lose someone close.
I lost a part of me of after Isabel died, a part that will always be empty in her absence. What allowed me to move forward in the emptiness - besides Jake and Rory - was/is the strength and love from my friends and family. I am blessed and try to embrace all they give to me and my family.
My heart was rocked again with Kia. Not only with her death, but with her kindness and pure heart. She was a person not yet tainted by the world and look at life with full fresh eyes, determined to make her dreams come true. During some of my darkest days by sheer "luck" Kia moved into my home and became my backboard for all the mixed emotions I had. Quickly and very unexpected she became a confidant and one of my truest friends.
At one point in a room full of women I tried to explain how much she inspired me to continue going for my goals. That she made me want to fall in love with Jake again - her almost naive vision of love and fairy tales was more than enough to inspire me. She made my family better. We won't ever forget her.
I don't know if she ever truly understood the power and courage she gave me, but she hears me now, but I sure miss her.

I may be a little broken and not completely whole. But with loss we learn. We take something from that person's life.
From Izzie I take the quiet and grace.
From Kia I take her vivacious, charismatic charm, love of life and full heart.
