Dear loved one,
No one ever wants to hear news like that, and once you do, you never want to believe it is true. First thoughts are always like, Why did this happen? It's not fair. But life isn't fair, and you have to learn to accept what happens and move on, no matter how hard it is. I know life isn't easy and no one ever said it would be, which is why I have to continue on with my life and be strong and keep going.
You were loved by many and you knew that. You surrounded yourself with happy people that loved you, but we wanted to be around you too. I always enjoyed your company, your jokes, and your stories. You always had something to say, and I never once wanted to stop listening. You never had anything bad to say about anyone or anything, instead you would either wish them the best or pray for them. Even though you had your own struggles, doctor appointments, and things you had to do, you still put others first. You were tough to handle that way. But we let you help because we knew it made you happy.
Thank you for all of your kindness and generosity to my family and I. Thank you for always picking me back up when I reached my lowest. You never stopped believing in me, so thank you for always encouraging me to keep going and for saying you were proud of me. You made me a better and happier person, and I can't thank you enough. You taught me how to always have an optimistic outlook on life no matter what happened. Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you.
Even though you were sick for awhile, you never let that get in the way of your happiness. That's what I loved about you. I know you lived a long and happy life, which makes me content that you are at peace now. But just know that I'll never forget you and everything you had taught me. I miss you every day.
I love you. Rest in peace.
