Alison,

Friendship has been on my mind lately; particularly our friendship. I’ve been hurt recently by someone who I thought was my friend. Then I think about you. You were someone who always had my back and always there for me and now you’re gone. I know you’re still here in my thoughts, my memories, and my heart but it isn’t the same. Seeing pictures of you doesn’t bring you back. I’ve thought a lot about you Abe. It’s March now, we’d be going to Teen Leader or Dance Weekend, but we wouldn’t be campers, we’d be on staff! Imagine that with our shenanigans!

If you were still here, I’ve been asking myself, if we’d still be friends. Would you want to talk every day, or meet up once or twice a year as we usually did? Would you want to know about my current life? Would you care? Would you send me a judgy emoji if you knew I was making a bad decision? This is what I’d want you for. I’d love to talk to you and hear what you would say about what’s happening in the world right now. You had pretty strong opinions six years ago. I can’t even imagine what you’d say about our world now.

You were just getting into Facebook when you were alive. You were always taking pictures, so there’s no doubt you would love Instagram. We’d Snapchat each other with those hilarious filters. We’d be constantly retweeting each other’s tweets. You’d be the social media queen, but you never got the chance.

I miss you Abe, and wish you were one text, Snapchat, Facebook message, Facetime, or call away. I love you boo.

Love always, Lindz.
