i didn’t get to say goodbye. this is what i would’ve said if we could’ve talked one last time. i love you. you are so special to me. your love for your family, your career, your drive, and your positive attitude inspire me every. day. and i’m going to miss you. so much. i’m going to miss your smile. i’m going to miss your hair. i’m going to miss saying hi to you on the phone. i’m going to miss your jokes. i’m going to miss your laugh. i’m going to miss your hugs. i’m going to miss sitting on the porch with you and coming into your room and updating you on how tennis is going. i’m going to miss you. i already miss you so much. i love you. i’ll love you forever. goodbye..
