Brandi-Lea Michelle O'Hara

Dear Brandi,
You've been on my mind a lot lately...and in my dreams as well.
When I dream of you, I feel so lucky because for that short time we are together again. I hate when in the dream, you tell me you have to go. I'm always trying to convince you to stay longer : ) I never want the dream to end.

I still miss you every day but I try to focus on the positive, that at least I have memories of our life together. I'm so grateful to have had you as my daughter.

It has been awhile now we get caught up in life and everything that comes with it, new people, and careers and so on. I have been doing well, have run my own business for the past seven years now and for the first time took on a position with a company.

I still think about you, we had a very short time together, and I think about all of the things you would have accomplished by now. Miss you, you will never be forgotten by me. I wonder how good of friends we could have been and how...
