Effervescent

Prompt: effervescent | adj. vivacious; gay; lively; sparkling. (dictionary.com) I can think of several people I’d describe with these words. Some have come and gone from my life, quick as autumn leaves, and just as colorful. Others I’ve known for a lifetime, steadily helping me through. It strikes me as odd that I’ve rarely told these people how much I love and appreciate them. Who comes to mind when you think of the word “effervescent”? What would you tell them, if you could?
