This can’t be real. You’ll always be in my heart and at the forefront of my mind whenever common sense and conviction are needed. I’ve always admired your courage, strength, and unconventional wisdom. Facing uncertainty, you strive and remind us all that pressure makes diamonds. I’ve searched the night skies for your diamond; the sky feels dull, but I think I found you up there, shining bright. I’ll forever keep that exact star in my heart, soul, and life—every time I gaze into the abyss, I’ll find you. I love you, Amanda. This is surreal and impossible to accept, but I hope this reaches you somehow and you give me a sign. I wish I’d been more present lately; the regret is too painful for words. Sometimes it doesn’t get easier or better… I now know true tragedy and loss. I’ll never give up on you. I’ll reluctantly use your memory as fuel for the future, keep your memory alive, and think of you always. ***** 🙂 That’s for you. I’ve lost more than a friend—a true sister and mentor in so many ways. I love you, kid. Xo
