It was an incredible experience a few weekends ago to meet one of Emily's friends at the "Ride Don't Hide" event at Polson Park in Vernon, BC. 

It was a random encounter that turned out to be so powerful. 

Emily's friend graduated with her at Fulton High School and knows Emily very well. They did many things together, including a school trip to Ottawa with her years ago. 

She remembered Emily fondly and went on to share how Emily was the one that always connected everyone together. She also lovingly talked about how Emily naturally displayed kindness, compassion & positive energy for all to enjoy. 

She also talked about how Emily would often say: "Pineapple Belongs On Pizza!". 

Emily would exclaim this and then they would giggle and laugh together as others would say they were weird!!  

These encounters with Emily's friends (which happen often), are so special and remind us that our loved ones are with us forever. 

The natural way of being after death of a loved one is suffering at first, then there is a deepening. In that deepening, you go to a place where there is no death. And the fact that you felt that means you went deep enough, to the place where there is no death, only Love is there.
