A/N not mine, I own nothing.

I haven't written in this series of one shots for awhile, but today I was reminded of how life can be so short. One of my PHriends who read my stories passed away from PH today. This is for you my dear friend Sam Starr. May you fly high and breath easy. You will be missed all over the world.

Slowly One Shots

The loss of a PHriend

Stephanie woke up early to a private message on her Facebook page. She had been struggling with the overwhelming amount of loss that the PH community has had since January. Too many adults and children had passed away in three short months.

She began to cry as she read the message. Her dear friend from Australia had passed away during the night. Sam had been a long term survivor, a woman who gave her hope.

Sam made her laugh from the other side of the world. They may not have met in person, but through their struggles they found friendship.

She wasn't sure how long she sat there crying. This loss hit her hard. They had shared many things in common with this disease and would often talk about it. They also shared a love of reading and Fanfiction.

Although they had been apart of the same online support groups, they made a connection through Fanfiction. They enjoyed similar stories and writers.

Ranger came into the office and found Steph there crying. He read the message over her shoulder and picked her up. Holding her in his arms.

"She's flying high with the angels now." he told her.

"She breathing easy now." Steph replied.

A/N I know it's not very long, but please understand that I am heart broken over the loss of Sam. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. The entire world will be a different place without her in it.
