Dear Mark,
I miss you like crazy and there's not a day that goes by when you're not in my heart and on my mind. When we met it was totally by chance, or maybe it was by fate? Either way, I hope you know just how much you've always meant to me. You were a friend from the very moment we met and I felt like we had known eachother forever.
Sometimes I still can't believe that you're really gone. It's like I expect to hear from you or bump into you somewhere. It's impossible to think that it's been 4 years already. The phone call, the newspaper, the wake, the funeral... they're all so fresh in my mind, and when I close my eyes I can still see the glow of the sparklers on that cold, snowy winter night. I can still hear the quiet hiss as they lit up that night.
You taught me so much with your never ending courage, humor, and smile. You taught me what it means to be strong. You taught me to appreciate the small things in life, and you showed me how to be a better person.
The ache in my heart and the pit of my stomach and the lump in my throat are pains that will be there always when I think of you... but so will the image of your smiling face and your knit cap and all the loving memories you gave me.
With Love Forever,
Angela
