"What we do differently today will have
changed the past for people in the future"
Those words are the introduction to Stephanie Ann Paulk's Blog. An Artist, Writer, Poet, Performer, Attorney and Wife, Stephanie seemed to be such a unique individual. Stephanie died a couple weeks ago at the age of 38 from Brain Cancer. I had read about her passing in the obituary section of the AJC. (Us widowers look at the Obituary daily to see who is joining the club).
A beautiful looking girl, I was awestruck at her story and life and how she had handled her illness with such strength and grace since 2001. (Yes, she does remind me of someone!)
I never had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie - I think a loss for everyone that had not experienced her courageous spirit and love. Through Reading her Blogs, Poems and writings - I DO get a sense of who she was and continues to be.
I Like to think that certain people are truly a Gift from the Grace of God. A gift that immeasurably changes our lives and defines who we are. Those that have been loved and touched by these gifts are in my mind, the Lucky Ones. Tell me who wouldn't want to be touched by an Angel? Yes, indeed, we are the Lucky Ones!
No, I never met you Stephanie - but I do know that your life, passions and spirit carries on in those that were blessed to have been loved by you. What a Wonderful and Special Gift you were.
I like to believe you might even have a new Soul Sister on the other side.
