One bright light down..

Oh little spunk,
Who played the drums with the tiniest tips,
Who terrorised the older boys in class,
And then charm your way into hearts and phones....

Who kept on going after being diagnosed,
Who fought so long and hard...

R.I.P. Annalise.

We were rooting for her.
A whole lot of us.
And this is hard.
Not knowing why it has to end this way.
