Leslie and I met online last year when we both became part of an awful club. We clicked immediately. We shared a lot with each other; the bad days, the victories, the silly things, the darkly humorous things, and TikTok’s, lots and lots of TikTok’s.
Even though we ever met in person I know that Leslie was intelligent, kind, funny, and fiercely loyal to and protective of her friends and family. The world was better because of her.
We talked about meeting up this summer to catch a baseball game, have a beer together and, most importantly, give each other a real hug instead of all of the virtual hugs we’ve sent each other.
Early on in our friendship she accidentally sent me her address. I assured her that I wasn’t a stalker and promised that I wouldn’t show up on her doorstep. Now I’m left wishing I had broken that promise.
Leslie, thank you for everything. I will miss our friendship and I will miss you. And to your friends and family, I send my deepest and sincerest condolences.
