Homage to Denise.

The universe has gained a star.

A mother, wife, sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, passed away yesterday. Cancer. There are millions upon millions of people, out there, who can attest to the devastation of this disease, it doesn’t make it easier but to know that so many can understand the loss is a comfort, albeit small, in the face of this loss, does help.

Den was a powerful woman, with a fierce love for family. The love of a tigress. And she fought that enemy of mankind, as a tigress would. It may have won in the end but damn, she left her mark on it. She fought with honour, with dignity and with an insane level of courage. A hero to all she has left behind and to those she has now joined.
