Its been 1 year since my close friend April died. I miss her so much. I miss her laughter, her smile, her way of making things better! She had a way about her that I have found in no other person! Not even in family!

However, I drive past her house and smile when I think of the times we had in her dining room and on her back porch swing! I walk into the shop ( my mom has put her photography studio in her old resale shop) and I can feel her presence. I know that may sound crazy, but its like she is still there!
But there are some places that I have a hard time going to!~ Like this one HEB, the one i took her too when she asked me to take her to the store before she died... When I go in there I automatically get sad and have to fight back tears!

She had bought my daughter a ring for Christmas right before she passed away and I found it in my daughters wallet the other day... The tears started flowing... She not only impacted my life....she impacted my daughters too! My daughter carries that ring with her! she cant wear it, it doesnt fit, but she still carries it with her. Her Auntie April gave it to her!

I know she is in a better place and she is pain free now, but it still hurts! I know she wouldnt want me to be sad, but I am. I struggle to understand.

I just miss her! My tattoo reminds me of her everyday! She will be someone I NEVER forget

you know hon it is really difficult to lose someone so young. we can never understand why they had to go but it was her time. I am sure she knows how much you love and miss her. the first yr is the worst I think. after that it becomes easier. (((hugs)))
