Dear Loved One,

Whether you have passed years, months, or weeks ago I hope you know you are always on my mind. I don't think I'll ever lose the pit I have in my stomach when I think about you being gone. I'm not sure where you're waiting, or how I'm going to get there but, I'll always have faith that when the time is right, we'll meet again.

Losing you was something so difficult for my young mind to grasp. It's not fair that you had to leave before I was even able to decipher the meaning of death. Trying to understand something so gaping is like driving into a thick fog and trying to find your way out. Death is complicated, it's sticky, and for lack of a better word, death sucks. It sucks that the people you love, have to eventually leave this world but, you should always have faith that you'll meet again.

It's hard to think that one day you were full of life and the next you were gone. I know you fought for every moment you spent with that and I could not thank you enough for that. I'll never shake the feeling of actually realizing you are permanently no longer here with me but I find peace in the fact that you are free from pain. I know you're waiting, and I know that when the time comes I will feel whole again. I hope you're happy, I hope you're free from pain, and I hope you know you're missed.

Love,

Your Loved One

We all have a loved one waiting for us, and I hope we can all have the chance to meet them again.
