Mia was a source of positive energy. We loved being around her because she spoke with such honesty and embraced life with such enthusiasm.
When we thought about taking a job in Afghanistan everyone around us thought we were crazy. But Mia's response was,"YES! Go! You'll love it!" And you know what? She was right. We did go and we did love it. I have often thought that without her enthusiastic endorsement we may have missed out on one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
When we decided to get married Mia was there to celebrate with us. She and Claudia pulled out all stops to help us enjoy the day. Mia enjoyed our random, crazy wedding along with the rest of us, but in a much more sober state, until the sun came up. All the time just loving being there for the wackiness. When we decided to do it all over again in Vegas Mia was one of the first to say she would be there. Sadly she couldn't make it in the end.
Mia was part of our lives for such a short time, but she will always be a shiny light in some of the most important parts of it.
Love, Rose & Stu.
