We all desire a friend who will make our shortcomings & the things we failed to do in life feel like things we conquered. That friend that had your back seen & unseen. That friend who will inspire, empower & encourage us to KEEP getting UP every single time life knocks us down. We all desire THAT friend that served as both armor & shield when the world didn’t quite digest your context enough to understand you like they did. That friend that you didn’t have to talk to everyday yet they felt & could comfort you in & through your pain from miles away. We all desire a friend who would lend their confidence to drown your insecurities that friend that pushed us from fear to the deepest depths of our FAITH. Who would speak your same language without saying a single word. That friend who is part LADY & part everything else they needed to be for all the ways she would support her chosen tribe. We all desire a friend who we can share our uncomfortable truths, secrets & dreams with & know they are protected & safeguarded til death do US part. That friend you slay with AND pray with. That friend that takes a piece of YOU with them when they die just so they can reserve a custom made spot for the day when you are destined to meet again #KimPorter was that committed, genuine sister & friend to ME & MANY others that she deeply LOVED, TRUSTED, PROTECTED, NURTURED, CARED & RODE hard for, sacrificed & went to battle for & allowed into the closely guarded PRIVATE orbit of her heart. That friend that never valued frequency or proximity over trust, authenticity & loyalty. The friend that had a compassionate way of making every single soul she touched feel like the only soul that mattered. While we are truly grateful for the time we had...her passing has left a trail of deeply wounded, broken hearts that will only be mended by the stitching together of the mosaic of beautifully rich memories made that will last til eternity. We will NEVER, NOT EVA stop honoring, memorializing, LOVING & feeling the pain of her loss as her LOVE towards us is & will forever remain IRREPLACEABLE.
