She quickly realized that death was her only consistent friend in life.

People came into her life and people disappeared from her life.

Death, however, was always there.

She did not see Death every day.

Death could sometimes be gone for weeks

When Death was gone, she would sometimes she a bright white light

A white bright tunnel light

She often thought if she should follow the bright white, for she thought it must be filled with angels

For surely only angels could conjure such a bright light

When she was about to follow the bright white light, Death reappeared

No matter how disappointed she was in not being able to follow the bright white light, she welcomed Death

Death was a trusted friend of hers

Because how could she trust people in her life when she did not know how long they would be there?

Death taught her to see beauty where no one else saw beauty

She learned to look up at the darkest night sky and appreciate the indefinite blackness she saw

For Death taught her not to be afraid of the dark, for those who are not afraid of the dark will fare well in the afterlife
