Whenever we went to visit you, you always made our worries go away and brighten up our day. This past week has been super hard for all of us. We lost you. You are in a way better place though. like someone said, its only the beggining of the rest of your life. The one thing that i will always remember was that we were at your wake. & my little brother and i were praying over you and he said "isnt she supposed to have wings on her, because shes an angel?"
we all cried.
well, anywayssss.
im praying for you, and we can get through this together. like family is supposed too.
