This is the hardest thing ever. I miss you so much, Carina. Nobody came close to treating me as well as you did. I guess that goes for everybody. You treated everybody like they were your best friend. I love you, Carina. Thank you for truly being my best friend.

Carina, you were the best sister i could ever ask for! you were the one i knew i could talk to about anything and i greatly miss that. you have taught me so much! i promise i will always remember you and talk to you because even though you've passed, i know your still here. you will always be remembered nonnie. it doesn't even feel like your gone, and it's so hard to get through the day without you being here to help me or without me going to john's or the hospital to see you. i miss those nights we would stay up watching movies and talking. i miss sharing a room with you and i miss hearing you yell at me when i would take your clothes ;). i promise i will never forgot you nonnie and you'll always be in my heart. i can't wait for that day i get to be up there with you, always laughing, talking and having fun, just like we used to. i love you nonnie, don't forget that!

i love you more than anything carina! <3
