Happy Valentines Day bestie. You've been in my thoughts a lot lately and also in my dreams. I have dreamt about you a handful of times already and even back to back on some nights. I cannot express how much I wish you were still here...but I know that your spirit lives on within all of us. I know that you are finally at peace which makes me feel better and especially because I know you are united with your beautiful mother. I remember you saying to me at her funeral that she loved me very...

You were a beautiful person inside and out. That much is abundantly clear. Our short-lived friendship was one that saddens me because of how little we got to enjoy it. At any rate, I feel blessed to have shared that wonderful, albeit short connection. You were so sweet, and so warm to me. We could just chat it up like we've known each other for years. You always asked about my son, "How is sweet little Sebastian?" I can't tell you how much that brightened my day and how much I miss that....

I miss you, Carly. May all those who are grieving sense love and light, grace and peace
