Happy Belated Birthday Beautiful!

My Dearest Laur,

Happy 22nd Birthday!!

I still miss you everyday. I still think about you everyday. I think of all of the wonderful things you've missed and also all of the crap that you've missed too. I raised a bottle last night in your honor, wishing so much that you were there with me to celebrate. Remembering and then trying to forget that you aren't here.

And then this morning (or rather this afternoon) listening to your "I Love You Lord". Thinking about how your beautiful voice is singing that song maybe right now. Thinking about seeing you, arms raised, just praising the God who made you and took you home. Wishing that you would have just opened up to one person. Wishing that you would have realized that no one is perfect and that no one really has it all together. Wishing that I could give you just one more hug and not let you go.

So here's to you my beautiful friend...I love you and miss you...

Love always and forever
Steph
