To the one I love the most,

I pray for you every day. We all do. I wish that I could take your place and take your pain away. One thing I know for sure is that you're so much stronger than I would ever be in your position. It's crazy how you're the one going through all of this, yet you're the only one who hasn't shed a single tear. I hope you know that I, and all of your loved ones, are going to be here for you every step of the way.

Fearlessness and resilience. Two words with big meanings, both of which I would use to describe you. I've learned a lot from you, but the most important thing I have learned is not to take life too seriously. You've taught me that each tragedy we face in life is just going to be one of the many that life throws at us.

You've overcome every obstacle tossed your way with a smile on your face and your head held high. Despite the fact you've been to hell and back, you're still the happiest and kindest person I know. The way I've seen you handle these difficult situations has changed the way I look at you.

Somehow, you're presence brings a sense of comfort to everyone around you, and it may sound cliche, but it is because everyone can see God in you. There is something about you that no one can resist. It may be your contagious smile and laugh, or possibly the way you love and accept everyone with open arms. You make the bad days good, and the good days a little bit better.

Everything from watching you tell a joke, to seeing you comfort someone, are the small, but significant moments in which I realize, you truly are my angel on earth. Just like everyone else, you have your flaws, you get angry, you make mistakes, but unlike everyone else, you are the light of my life.

The strength you've demonstrated is incredible and has led us all to follow in your footsteps of optimism and toughness. I know it will only be a matter of time until you overcome this like you do everything else. It's not going to be easy but I know you will do it. After all, "God only puts boulders on the shoulders of his strongest soldiers."

Thank you for teaching me to love a little harder, laugh a little louder, and most importantly, live life to the fullest because it's a lot shorter than we think. I love you.

Love,

Your biggest fan
