Denese Swett

February 22nd, 2020

Denese and I met on Facebook, I don’t remember how she ended up on my FB list of friends.
Her posts always touched me, time after time they showed her love and tenderness for her husband, her son, and her relatives. We slowly started to exchange a few short messages, then longer messages, then one day we finally decided to give it a try and set a date for a live talk on Messenger. However, every time, some event prevented us from doing so, like unexpected company ringing at the door, or some other reason. I didn’t lose hope, I wanted to know Denese better, and I was planning to go to the United States next summer to visit one of my friends in Wisconsin and, on my way back home, I’d drive the extra miles and go see Denese.
And then the news of her death hit me. Very hard.
I’ve read the many messages of love left by her friends and family on her Facebook wall, and I realize that I will regret my whole life that I did not get to know Denese better or have a chance to talk to her. She will stay in my heart, though, as a wonderful mother hen who was ready to fight for the ones she loved, with a heart of gold bigger than the sky.
I love you my friend.
