Another year without you is still choking and hard to digest. I still can't delete your number from my phone although I know I can't make a physical call to you. I miss you Tammy!

I love you Tammy. You will always be my sister. I've wanted to call you twice today even though I just left your house yesterday and know you won't answer. It's instinct. I just wish you were here. I want to talk to you one last time. I'll never forget our life together and I'll always love you. I'm so glad the best memories of my life are with you. Thank you for being my friend.
