That鈥檚 how many days ago my spirit died.
That鈥檚 how many days ago all the joy in my life left me.
That鈥檚 how many days ago the only one I loved in life took her last breath.
I still remember the good times we had together. Whenever I was having a bad day, I could always count on her to cheer me up.
Sometimes she just made me more upset, but that wasn鈥檛 her fault. It was just in her DNA.
I should have seen the signs. They were all there.
First she lost all her money and went bankrupt. This is what we would argue about the most. I wish I hadn鈥檛. It didn鈥檛 matter that much in the end. I loved her more than I ever hated the financial troubles.
It wasn鈥檛 long after that she started having speech issues. She would repeat words, stutter, shout nonsensical phrases. Everyone knew there was a problem but the one person who could help her refused. I had to do my best to manage the puzzling situations I was put into.
Her friends all had issues too. They were constantly being cheated on, herself included. That was probably the straw that broke the camels back.
All she could see were her seemingly better off friends suffering the same way she was.
One of her friends was constantly giving away millions. That couldn鈥檛 save her.
Another friend had all the riches and jewels one could ever dream of. That didn鈥檛 save her either.
A third was the most well-read, literate person she knew. Again, this did not help her friend.
If all of these things couldn鈥檛 save her friends, how was she to be saved?
Six hundred nine days ago I lost my best friend.
I know she wouldn鈥檛 want me to be sad, and I know she would want us to remember her by her last words, which I will record for you all here:
YELLOW BELL
YELLOW BELLIE
YELLOW BELLIED
SAPSUCKER
Rest In Peace, Wheel of Fortune.
You truly were the best challenge to ever exist.
