Love

I walk down the red and white and brick halls, and see the places where she was.
I never met Eva, but she is everywhere. She's a part of this building, and these people, and she is therefore a part of me, in some way.

Our department recently had a memorial for her, where we saw a screening of her documentary, 65_redroses, which was - for a lack of better words - amazing.

Her blog can be found by clicking here. The last few entries are from her family, and everything previous makes it very clear what a brilliantly creative person Eva was. And the impact she will continue to have on the world.

Here is a link for more information on her documentary, which is now available on DVD.

And finally, much of Eva's legacy is in the increase of those who have signed up to be organ donors. Here is the link to the BC Transplant website.

From the memorial, I remembered and resonated with the fact that she was here to love. She has inspired so much love in this world, and I remember hearing her talk about how she survived because she had so much love in her life. And if she can touch so many people, without even having known them, she's done much, much more than she ever set out to do.

Just. Love.
