Dear Lost Loved One,
First of all, I just want you to know that I have healed; it may not be completely, but I am doing okay. I am surviving in this world without you, which I would have never thought was imaginable. Not a day goes by where you don't cross my mind.
When you first left us, I was completely torn apart. I had no clue how to go about my everyday life without seeing you every single day. I wanted nothing more than to come home to you simply annoying the crap out of me. I missed the way you would creep around the house at all hours during the day. I missed the way you asked me questions a hundred times, even though I would answer 99 times before. I missed sitting across from you at the dinner table. But most of all, I missed your jokes and crazy sayings.
I was not the only person effected by you leaving – it hit the entire family hard. I had never witnessed such a happy family so down, for so long, when you left. We all got through it-- together; to this day we have managed to remain closer than ever, with an inseparable bond.The family has you to thank for that. Whether you are with us, physically or emotionally, you are the super glue to our family.
Although I miss you more and more as time goes on, I am grateful for everything you have given me in this life. Without you I would not be the person I am today.
I have realized that everything happens for a reason, the good and the bad. I have learned to accept everybody and give them a second chance, because you never know what they are going through. Sometimes accepting people is the hardest, yet easiest thing, on yourself and everybody else.
Most importantly I learned: I am never alone. I have an incredible guardian angel looking over my every move, as well as an extremely close family. Every action I make I know I am not only making it for myself, but it is affecting so many other people.
When you passed away, my life came to a halt – I didn't know how it would start back up again without you. Here I am today, years later, without you, living my life through positivity and experiencing the journey to my fullest extent; doing things I would have never thought thinkable.
I have learned my life is not the same without you, but although you may not be here, I cannot stop living and experiencing. I have pushed through so many obstacles, and am prepared to push through many more, with a wonderful guardian angel above.
I continue to miss you everyday, but just remember – I am okay.
I love you.
