Dear loved one,

Plain and simple: I miss you.

It's hard to think that our memory making had to end. Although life was cut short for you, my life had to continue on. The milestones of birthdays, learning how to drive, college acceptance, high school graduation, are just a few. I still find myself thinking of you when something important or even when something funny happens. You're the person I want to tell everything to.

Whether it's to vent about someone who hurt me, calling you just to talk, or going to the zoo to look at "chickens" a.k.a seagulls. Most of the time, I didn't even have to verbalize what I was feeling for you to understand. We knew each other that well.

Surprisingly enough, the only one I want to talk to about how much my heart aches when I think of you being taken soon is you. It's crazy to think that you're not living in the same house as me, Noah. Or that I can't come and visit you and go take pictures, Poppa.

Often times, you'll hear people tell you, "Cherish the small moments, because before you know it they turn into memories." I wish that you were around longer for me to create more memories. Especially you, Noah, you were taken too soon.

Despite this, I smile ear-to-ear when I think of you and I. Your laugh is permanently etched into my mind. Never will I forget the feeling of your warm body against mine when we hugged. Your arms wrapping around me and your warm smile is truly something I miss.

Noah, my little brother, although I didn't get to know you very well, I still hold a spot for you in my heart. Your spirit lives in our sister Hannah. One day we will be reunited in heaven. I sure hope Poppa and you are watching over me every day.

You are always going to be the first person I think of when I wake up in the morning and the last person on my mind when I go to sleep. You still impact so many members of our family and all of your friends.

Every lesson, story and memory is a treasure that will be safely kept in our minds and shared with the people who love and miss you the most.

Take care of all of our friends and family who have to come and join you. We love and miss you so much. There isn't a day that will go by that we don't think of you.

With much love,

The one who misses you most.
