1 year in heaven. ♥ I miss you so much, Rey. You’re on my mind 24/7 & it hurts not having you here anymore. Things have definitely changed for me & everyone else. That’s how much you being gone can affect everyone. Every little thing I do reminds me of you… It’s a good thing because I will always remember you, but it kills me inside. It’s not the same anymore & I hate it, but I am forced to stay strong and carry on. I love you so much, Rey. All I have left of you is all our memories that I’ll cherish forever. I miss everything we used to laugh about, all the heart to heart conversations, your hugs, that beautiful smile, our little fights over who loved who more, all the crazy shit we did together, but most importantly the bond that we shared. You will always be a part of me… your heart is still beating in mine. Stay close to me. I need you on this journey of life. You left so unexpectedly, so sudden & I have to live with that. I don’t think I will ever fully understand God’s reasons for taking you away from us so soon, BUT he has the most amazing angel right beside him now. You promised to never leave me, so I know you’re still beside me, looking out. I can only say that through out all of this, I had to come to terms that I might not have been able to keep you here physically, but I am truly blessed to have had you in my life at all. You honestly helped shape me as a person, you showed me a new way of living… free-spirited, whole-hearted, & peaceful. You’re a beautiful soul. We need more people like you in this world. You’re a once in a lifetime kind of friend. I was lucky to call you mine. I thank you for forcefully making me your best friend freshman year. Ha. I just can’t believe I’m sitting here a whole year later writing this down. I’m still shocked that you had to leave me. You think it would be a little easier to accept by now, but my God is it hard… continue to make us strong enough to go on. I know I’ll be seeing you again one day. I love you with every single beat of my heart. I love you with every single beat of my heart. Till infinity & beyond. I hope you’re listening for me because you are always in my prayers ♥ -love, KC
