| The Trevelyan I came to know - love, argue with, cry with, laugh with, was a tenacious woman, strong willed, loving, compassionate womyn. She indeed loved life and lived it to the fullest. In her young life of 34 years she accomplished so much in such a short time. She did more in and with her life than many do in a lifetime of 7 or 80 years. One of her accomplishments was to win the world championship in bodybulding two years in a row. It was not hard to see those qualities in her from the first time we met. She had a playfullness about her that made me laugh many times, there was no doubt that she had a wonderful sense of humor and loved playing jokes. Her love for humanity shone thru not just in her desire to make people laugh but in her willingness to help people no matter what. The courage I saw in Trevelyan most poignantly was when she told me that she was dying. Regardless of how ill she was in her courageousness she rose above her pain in her desire to try and help those who crossed her path. I was not aware of just how much pain she was in until later. When I first learned that Trevelyan was gravely ill I made a promise to her and myself. I told her with what remaining time was left of our friendship on this earth, "I will make this time meaningful to you and our friendship." Indeed there were moments that came when she would tell me that I was making it meaningful for her. And for that I am truly grateful. In those remaining few months that Trevelyan I spent talking, be it online or on the phone, our friendship grew stronger every day. The friendship found with Trevelyan was/is one I shall never forget. The impact she left on me goes beyond measure, needless to say the impact was/is a profound one and will be long lasting. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my friend who loved me unconditonally and never hesitated to tell me how much she appreciated the gift of my friendship in her life. She had a way of making one feel like the person she was talking to was the only person she was concerned about at the moment. That was one of the many ways Trevelyan had an impact on the people who's lives she touched. Not only was Trevelyan my friend, she instilled in me hope, comfort, unconditonal love, bestowed so many gifts to me that I didn't readily see all the gifts she extended at the time. It has only been in the days and months since Trevelyan made her transition that I have begun to identify specifically the gifts she willingly gave. There is no mistaking that the presence of Trevelyan in my life has been a blessed gift, a treasure I hold dear to my heart and always will. |

| Music was an important part of Trevelyan's life as it is mine. One of the songs that spoke to how I viewed the friendship was a song called,"Unsung Hero" by Teri Clark, Trevelyan was my Unsung Hero. In September I received a letter from Trevelyan where she told me that when she thought of me and the friendship the song "Wing Beneath My Wings" went thru her mind. That song became the symbol of our friendship. One of the last songs that Trevelyan directed to me was a song she wanted to convey how she felt and expressed her hope for being there for her loved ones after she had made her transition. The song is called, " The Promise " by Tracy Chapman and the lyrics are as follows. |
| The Promise If you wait for me then I'll come for you Although I've traveled far I always hold a place for you in my heart If you think of me If you miss me once in a while then I'll return to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart Remembering your touch your kiss, your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting If you dream of me like I dream of you In a place that's warm and dark In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart Remembering your touch, your kiss your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you If you'll be waiting I've long for you and I've desired to see you face and your smile To be with you Wherever you are remembering your touch, your kiss, Your warm embrace I'll find my way back to you Please say you'll be waiting Together again It would be so go to be In your arms Where all my journeys end If you can make a promise If it's one you can keep I vow to come for you If you wait for me And say you'll hold a place for me In your heart |
