Death seems like a distant reality...
Until it touches down right next to your heart... Then death becomes an all too real hell on earth... When you lose someone close to you a piece of you is also lost... It feels like someone has ripped out my heart and sliced a piece of it off... There is nothing you can do to prepare for a tragedy like that... NOTHING...
The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of you is that I miss you. We may not have spent years together, but the time we did spend together was enough for me to realize that you were my favorite cousin and that I will truly miss you very much. For years I did not even know your name, it was always just midge to me. You shall never realize how much you will be missed, by friends, and family, and especially me. I just wish I could have told you how much I loved you. Nobody may ever know the closeness that I feel to you; I just wish that you did. I may never fully understand what about you made me so close to you. All I know is that I personally will never for get the impact that you had on my life, and that I will miss you until the day I join you in heaven. I pray that by grace your eyes would look upon these characters made in ink, and that you would realize how much you are missed and loved even by me. I love you. May you rest in peace until the day that we meet in heaven.
