nina & nancy

There is something so mystical and unique about Nina. When I find myself crying during the day or distracted from the bustle of life around me, I wonder if anyone can truly understand the loss I feel had they not been blessed by Nina's presence and friendship when she was alive. When I first met Nina in seventh grade, I had no idea what she would teach me about life and friendship. Though her pain was always to a greater extent than my adolescent problems, she always took the time to listen to me and lend me a shoulder to cry on. Every moment we spent together, an adventure would make us laugh for hours. From chasing her kittens around her house when they escaped from the cage, to making banana bread and watching Aerosmith videos to lying on each other's beds and talking for hours into the night, we were always there for each other. Nothing ever broke us apart - not even distance. As ninth grade approached, I moved from Doha to England and we wrote each other everyday and always begged our parents for a five minute phone call just to hear each other's voice. December in tenth grade, Nina visited me in England and we shopped and cried and laughed and talked for six days straight. The time came to say goodbye and we promised not to cry, but sitting at Burger King in the airport over two sodas, the tears began to fall and it took us twenty minutes to finally pull apart and make promises to each other to stay healthy and happy. We felt we would not see each other for a very long time. The summer after tenth grade, we found fate at our sides for Nina had a layover in London and I got to spend the night with her. We sat in the terminal talking about everything and getting even closer. When it was time for me to go in the morning, there were no tears. We understood that we would see each other and there was no need to doubt that. We hugged goodbye and Nina gave me a good luck charm because I was moving back to the states and as always she wanted to make sure I would be okay. That was the last time we ever saw each other. Nina's death has left an ache in my heart and I think of her every moment of the day. She is by my side in everything that I do and I love her. She will always remain my best friend and my soul mate - the girl who understood everything I went through, all the problems I encountered, and every feeling I ever had. I will never forget her or the friendship we shared. Our secrets will always remain between us and I will await the day when I can laugh with her once again, when we can comfort each other, when I can hug her and giggle about the silliest things, and when we can forget about any sadness that had ever entered our lives. Although that day has not yet come, there are constant reminders that Nina is still by my side and I know she will be my guardian angel forever.
