Irina Kirilova Leskovska, 1980-2010

Yesterday, my sister-in-law, Irina Leskovska, was laid to rest in her hometown of Varna, Bulgaria. She was only 30 years old, and died, from my understanding, of Bacterial Pneumonia and health care provider neglect.

Irina was an old soul who wrestled with her demons in the only way she knew how to. She was a beautiful girl in flesh and spirit, a poet, an artist, and full of untapped potential and without warning, her journey ended abruptly. I find a strange comfort in believing that her father met her on Sunday, and guided her every step of the way and now, together, the past forgotten, they smile down on the ones they left behind, Ilka, Diana, and  Leanna.

You are, and will be missed. Goodbye friend. Say hello to Heaven for us.
