Seven years have passed, and the weight of your absence remains. Time moves forward, but the memories we shared are etched in my heart. Though healing is a journey, not a destination, I find solace in cherishing those moments. Your spirit continues to inspire and guide me. May peace find its way to all who feel your loss.
I love you big brother.

HI dad it's Hailey, It's November 28th 2024 It's been 7 years without you and Today is Thanksgiving. I wanted to just do a check up and update you on life you know? So I made the Albany high dance team and I preform on December 10th. I also got into placement in July and its my first big holiday in placement. I haven't talk to any family today and it's just hard not eating with family anymore. But I'm 15 now and I miss you A lot and I love you so much.
