I met her many years ago when she was a university student in Paris. We were among a group of students of different nationalities. An energetic and full of life girl with wild beauty, blue eyes and smiling face. Academically she was brilliant, and socially she was wooed by many. We got together into few situations that left their repercussion unforgettable in my memory.
We drifted apart more than 20 years ago and never contacted each other. Accidentally every few years, I would hear something about her from persons who turned out to be common acquaintances.
Few days ago, I have been told she passed away after a strong battle with the monster disease, survived by a husband and a daughter. I was given a link to her FB and came to see her recent photos and read the condolence messages.
Twenty years are long enough to bury many feelings, but her loss saddens me. Besides, I am in a mood that makes me apt to feel saddened.
Our memories together kept her alive in my mind and kept me feeling as if I was still close to her as I once was.
