Today a best friend of mine was laid to rest. My continued prayers go out to her daughter Brooklyn and her family. 🙏
Because I couldn't be there I wrote this for her to be read at her funeral service today.

What can I say about Ruth that people don't already know? Not much really, she was an open and honest person towards everyone. Besides the fact that she was my BFF, she was a best friend to a lot of other people too. She was lovable, caring and gave you that feeling like it was OK to open up to her and share your feelings without any judgement at all. This is why everyone loved her and she had so many friends. This was Ruth.
She could never end friendships or relationships on bad terms. They always had to be on good terms, always. I could never understand that about her. I think I use to be the one to get mad and hold the grudges for her most of the time. But that was who she was. Never holding grudges, always forgiving, always positive, always Ruth.
You knew if you were going to be hanging out with Ruth, you were going to have fun, guaranteed. There were so many, too many, and not enough good times Ruth and I had... And she loved to reminisce. That was her thing - talking about what happened in the "Summer of 1992 or Fall of 1996". If I wanted to remember what happened during a certain time of the year, she was the one to go to. Who am I going to go to now? Who am I going to reminisce with now?
I met Ruth when we were 15 years old. So she is my family, she is my family's family.... She is my heart and according to her we were soulmates. I hope she knew I felt the same way about soulmates. I thought I would have a lifetime with Ruth. I thought she would always be there until we were older and gray'er. But life doesn't work that way. God doesn't work that way.
I do know she is resting in peace and she is pain and worry free in heaven. But I admit, I'm selfish and I wish she was still here in my life and with us right now. I'm sure gonna miss my BFF. I Love you Ruth.
