We didn't keep in contact after I married and moved abroad - not because the love had gone - but because it never EVER occurred to me that I couldn't pick up contact again after I was able to raise my head above the slog of caring for little kids. And I know Tanya would have been there - funny, irreverent, snorting laughter and deeply loyal - inspiring me, pissing me off, cooking a fabulous meal... Except she isn't here anymore.<br /><br />I didn't know the day Tanya died. I didn't find out about it until a year or so ago. I'm kind of surprised that there wasn't a giant upheaval in the planet - tsunmani, earthquake, asteroid strike, I don't know - something like that. It just seems that the universe must have had to reconfigure in a pretty damn big way when Tanya Bocking died. Where the hell did that energy go? I know there is a tall, red haired, laughing hole in my heart and I'm glad to feel it there.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
