Sometimes you don't know what a person has meant to you or the effect that person has had on your life until that person leaves your daily routine.
I will miss someone named Stephanie who didn't want to leave, but a family decision requires her to leave the state. As we helped her pack up and carry out her belongings, it hit me how much I will miss her...her loud, raucous music we all could hear, her very strong faith in God and the effect she had on people, myself included. Always cheerful, always sensitive to what might be concerning a co-worker, and not afraid to invite them to let her say a prayer for them.
She also has a great sense of humor, sometimes a little naughty even...we shared many a laugh, shared many stories and were becoming good friends. Intentions to stay in touch are great, but people get busy, only time will tell if we do.
Probably every one of us have had a person like this pass through our lives, and we are the better for it. We hope we left them with something as well.
