I'm so sorry for your lost. I've never really been good at writing or expressing myself properly at a time like this (or any). I cannot even pretend to comprehend what you are feeling but I will attempt to offer some words of wisdom and future. Lately I've been studying the Earth, the Moon, the Planets, the Sun, Space and the Stars, which make up our Universe. Observing the endless astronomical movements and its own cycles of life and death. In this vast vacuum of lethal space that surrounds us 360 degrees, it is a miracle for us, the current human beings of Earth, to be gifted with this very short but shared existence that we call reality and our godly ability to perpetuate our own conscious human lives. We are an understanding witness to the aged beauty that surrounds us, and the endless opportunities of experiences we get a chance to see and feel together in this form. At one point I was wondering why in this life we struggle to live as long as we can when we know death is inevitable. The reason is we are selfishly trying to hold on to those who are close to us. That is why we live. To love, to experience, and to make the most of any and all the time we are gifted with. From what I know of Robin, she is a beautiful being, a beautiful mother, friend, and teacher who definitely loves and definitely lives! Meeting Robin and the Strega family is an experience that will stay with me forever and are part of my reasons for loving and living. She will be missed and we patiently wait until the day we get to experience another shared reality with her. Until then, we will honor her by loving, living, partying, and selfishly holding onto those who are close to us here and now together on this beautiful and life supporting planet Earth.
Sincerely and ineptly,
Good ‘ole Geo
