My Dearest Angel,
I have been thinking about you lots lately. About what you're doing up there. How you've been. I'll put it real simple, Critter, if that's what you want. I miss you, A lot. We could go deeper than that and say I miss your smile, and your laugh, and your hugs, but really when you add all that together I just miss you. All of you. Every part of you. You see, sweet girl, maybe it was part of God's plan. You leaving. And maybe the rest of us stuck down here are supposed to... grown, I guess, and learn from it. Can I tell you how hard that is. Especially without you. I mean, you're the one person we all want to turn and talk and you would have an open shoulder, but you're the one person we can't. It's straight down hard, Kat, no matter how much you comfort us, you can't come back. But, it has gotten somewhat easier. I don't cry as much as I did the first few weeks you were gone. It still hurts, and it always will. But we have to learn to live without you.
And it is truly nice to know you're up there watching over everyone of us. I know that you were taken back home so soon because God couldn't miss you for more than 16 years. Since you're so amazing it was so hard for Him to have you gone, so he had to take you back sooner then we think He should've. He needed you up there, Katie, more than you were needed down here. Of course it's always the amazing, sweet, beautiful ones that go first.
Know I miss you, and love you so much. And when I close my eyes I feel you near me, thank you for that. Sending big hugs your way, sweet Katelyn.
Xoxo
