An Open Letter To My Loved One In Heaven

You'll forever remain my guardian angel.

An Open Letter To My Loved One In Heaven
Dominic Kamp

My angel,

First off, I just want to say how much I miss you. I think about you every single day. It hasn't been long since you left us, but it still feels like it was just yesterday I heard the news that you were gone, and the tears have not stopped coming. We weren't ready to say goodbye, and life hasn't been the same since.

We all can't help but wonder why you were taken from us so soon? You had so many plans for your future, but obviously God's plan for you was much bigger. Not too long ago you were here, smiling and laughing, and talking smack about Donald Trump, and it's hard to accept the fact that you won't be there anymore when I walk into your house. I hope heaven is beautiful, and I hope your heart is full of love and your belly is full of wine, because that's just what you would have wanted. I may have lost someone I loved, but I also gained the most beautiful guardian angel heaven has ever seen.

I promise I'll always do what I can to make you proud. I'll finish college, and I'll start my own family, and I'll tell them all about you, and what an incredible person you were. You lived a full and happy life, and I find joy through my tears knowing that. You wouldn't want us to be sad. You'd want us to mourn our loss, and continue our lives with you always in our hearts. We'll see each other again one day, and until then our family will continue to share the memories we created with you over so many years. This isn't a goodbye, but a "see you later." So until we meet again, just know that I love you, and I'll always keep you with me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
