An Open Letter to the Person I Miss the Most

Hopefully you will never have to miss the person you always want to talk to, but if they are gone then you know what I mean when I say that you would give anything to be able to just have one more conversation over dinner. One more time where you could give them a hug, have them help you with problems or simply just be there to listen to you. You miss the way they used to look at you and the way they cared for you, the way that they understood you like nobody else did.

Dear You,

I want to yell and scream every time that I wake up in the morning and remember that you are not here. When you were with me I was always the happiest, mom couldn't even put me in a bad mood when I was with you. The times I miss you the most are of course holidays. Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays are definitely not the same without your bright cheery smile lighting up the entire room. Most holidays I visit you, some times I can even feel you wrapping your wings around me since God has to have made you an angel up there in heaven. I cry every time I'm there, not just because I'm sad but I am happy, or talking out my problems (even though this one way conversation is not really working to well).

I want to tell you that I am doing great things and I will continue to do great things because that is all you ever wanted me to do. You have missed my first sport game, my high school graduation, and going to be missing my college graduation. So In every aspect of my life I strive to be the best because you always told me I could be. I clung on to all of the words that you used to tell me because they are all I have left besides a few rings and pictures that do not allow me to hear you beautiful voice.

I miss being able to have an escape from reality. Whenever we would hangout or I would come over it would feel like time was irrelevant, it was never wasted time when we were hanging out because we enjoyed each others company. We could talk for hours on end, you would put up with my odd questions and even entertain them at times and make me feel as if I was not always the weird girl. You loved me for who I was no questions asked.

All I want is to tell you one last time that I love you and you are awesome. I would not be the person that I am today if you were not in my life. You made such an impact in my life that I think of you every single day. That you cross my mind when I am at my worst, best, my craziest and I only love you more and more each time I think of you. Thank you for making me a better person and thank you for loving me for infinity.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique. To add distance into the equation, maintaining a real, true friendship can be a struggle. There are good and bad parts that come with long distance friendship.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

cousins

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
