My Hollie.

My Hollie & me.

I sit here today quite maudlin. Down in the dumps. Saddened by the fact that Hollie & I worked our last shift together yesterday. We had her farewell dinner last night & it was a terrific night, full of laughter, tears, joys, sadness & many funny stories of all our work days together.

What will I miss about her?

I will miss her laughter, her telling us all off when we are politically incorrect, her sense of joy in all things, her optimism, her intelligence, her sense of style, her belief in the good in all people, even when they do not deserve that belief, her love for her family & friends, her dog, her boyfriend Ben, her vulnerabilities, her love for me & my family, & her hugs.
