Most people don't forget the first time they meet someone special. My experience with Pascale was no different. I had met her at a party along with some of her friends, and while her friends slowly left one by one, we stayed out until the early morning.
That's not, however, the memory I'd like to share. A more symbolic memory is probably the second time we caught up after the party.
We'd exchanged details and were having a wholesome conversation since the party. We agreed to catch up again the following week.
After all our conversing, Pascale quite humourously admitted she couldn't remember what I looked like. So we met again in a "blind" fashion.
When I think of Pascale, this second encounter was more meaningful than the first, because I knew that I was meeting someone whom really didn't judge people by their looks or appearances.
As I got to know her more and more, I knew this to be true, as well as discover that she only radiated positivity and the very elusive "good vibes". She was a friend to keep forever and we remained close ever since.
It is deeply saddening that my friend is no longer here with us. And although we may never share another meal or dance again, I'm truly grateful we had met. Her positive influence will live on with the rest of us. And in true Pascale style, I know she's happily dancing with the angels.
