August 3rd 2024

From me to you

3 years ago today we lost you

3 years ago today you took your last breath

3 years ago today

We said goodbye to you

For the very last time

And even though it’s filled with sorrow

Today is your day

So here’s my letter to you

I love you

I miss you

I miss the road-trips

I miss camping

I miss the family game nights

I miss _you_

I’ve lived everyday with your memory burned into my mind

With our last moments playing in my head like a movie on repeat

Every

Single

Day

I’ve also lived every minute trying to remember the love that you brought to this world

The love that you brought to this family

But sadly the sad memories always seem to outweigh the good

And every year as the days of July bleed into august I can’t help but think of those terrible days that we lost hope

Those moments that flash in my mind every time I think of you

And I wonder how many people are thinking of you too

How many people have this date etched in their memory

I wish so badly that I could see you

Hear you once again

But sadly I know that wish will never come true

Life has changed a lot

_I’ve_ changed a lot

3 years later and I still can’t accept that you won’t see me grow up

3 years later and I still miss you

3 years

I can’t believe I’ve gone 3 years without you

I love you more than anything

I can only hope that you know how much you were loved

How important you were

With all my love

I’ll keep remembering you

I’ll keep thinking of you

I’ll love you for eternity

And I’ll miss you for more

Okay, I know this is long and kind of all over the place but honestly I don’t really care 😅. I just wanted to make sure this was posted today because this day is special to me no matter the pain I feel from it.

And i could’ve made it more poetic but this is just what I’ve got and I’m ok with that. Thank you for reading and listening. I appreciate it more than you know.

You are loved 💙
