Dear beloved wife, mother, sister, friend,
All this time that has passed has been unthinkably hard for all of us. We never wanted to imagine a life without the woman that had drastically changed it for the better. Although you’re gone, you’re really not. We constantly see little reminders everyday that bring back so many memories. Memories from the carefree times that we wish we could go back too. memories that had you in them.
None of this was anyone’s fault. No one asked for this to happen. We have all questioned our faith in so many ways since this whole entire journey began. Aside from our faith, we’ve all had so many questions about why this happened. Why did it have to be now? Why this fight? Why you? It has been sad that God knows how much a person can handle. We have questioned that saying a lot because God keeps kicking us in the stomach with more bad news and, frankly, it has been bad news after more bad news.
It has, without a doubt, been the hardest time away from you. Yeah you’ve gone for a weekend or two at a time but never this long away from us. We all wish that we could see you in person or see your smile or hear your laugh or your voice one more time, but we all know that isn’t possible. It hasn’t even been that long if you really think about it. Days just sort of drag on when you’re not here with us to laugh and cry and just be.
We miss the way you would lay with E and watch crappy HGTV with her. We miss the way you poked Daddy whenever he snored too loud while he was sleeping. We miss the way you straightened Josh out whenever he did something stupid. We miss the way you scratched Bobby’s back with your long nails. We miss eating your new recipes and pretending to like them but then you telling us, “I guess I can’t make that dish anymore since you guys didn’t like it.” We miss your strength and courage and stubbornness. We miss all the hugs and the laughs and the tears. We miss everything, good or bad. We miss you.
With more love than anyone could ever count,
us.
