Happy Birthday You Beautiful Soul
Dear Best Friend, I am writing you this letter because unfortunately we won't be able celebrate together this year (not like we have in 6 years). Feb. 9, 2018 we would be celebrating 23 years of life but instead, everyone will be remembering 16 years of life, 6 years of addiction and 10 months of you being gone from us forever. This year, a simple Facebook post won’t cover it. A wishing of good luck and being safe won’t cut it. You and I have been through the ringer together and I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up with anyone else. I get so happy when I get to tell people stories of how lame we were and how many dumb ideas we had back then. I get happy because even though people don’t get to see you anymore or hear your voice, they hear the memories and stories about you, about us, and about everything!

Broken Halos
This really isn't a story, more of I need to get this off my chest. On January 5, 2018 is exactly 9 months you've left us, it also happens, that January 5 is my birthday. It saddens me every day that I don't get to see you or talk to you. It leaves a dark space in my heart that will never regain the glowing bright red it used to be.
