We always tell ourselves that the people we love will be
around forever, until one day- they aren’t anymore. And I
know you’re missing them right now. That it feels like a
visceral ache, deep within a part of yourself you did not
know existed until the day you lost them. So today, I hope
you remember that they live on within you, not just in your
heart- but in the way you infuse their care and kindness
into everything you do. In the way you take risks, knowing
that tomorrow is not promised. In the way you so
courageously stay open to new possibilities, even when you
feel like you simply can’t keep going. In the way you
continue to love so fiercely and purely, despite knowing the
terror and grief of loss. I hope you remember that even when
you lose someone you love, the love you shred lives on.
Their love is always with you. They are still with you.
