MISS YOU, CLAUDIA

claudia was and always will be my special lady.
i miss her each and every day.
i will never forget my most amazing, beautiful friend.
here are some of the things she taught me.

**go for it. LIVE BIG. then live even bigger. don't miss opportunities. seize the day. live to the fullest. have fun!

**be loyal. fiercely loyal - to your family and your friends.

**just be you. be who you are and never be ashamed. be proud of yourself.

**put your children first. defend them. protect them, but be honest with them, too. "love me, love my kids."

**jump in with both feet. if you love something, do it all the way. put yourself out there and be proud of it.

**share your joy. show your enthusiasm. allow others to share it with you.

**embrace bravery. face issues head on. deal with them.

**cultivate good friendships. embrace the diversity of your friends and love them for who they are and for how they care about you.


and soooo many more!
claudia, you have been so missed this last year. you will remain in my heart...always. i love you, lady!
