I know some days feel heavier than others..
The kind of days where every little thing reminds you of them, and you’d give anything just to hear their voice one more time.
If they could reach down from wherever they are, I think that they would remind you how proud they are of you—for holding on, for keeping their memory alive and for finding ways to keep on going, even when the sadness feels never-ending.
I think that they would remind you that they’re still very much here. In every part of you, in every smile and in every single one of your tears.
You’re allowed to miss them and you’re allowed to cry. The love they left you with is what what makes you strong enough to move forward, even on those days when it feels so impossible.
So take a deep breath and hold them close to your heart.
And know that, somehow, someway, they’re right there beside you, cheering you on as you navigate this strange, beautiful, heartbreaking world without them.
