Dear Krissy,
Although, it feels like it was just yesterday, It’s been almost 8 years now since the day you passed away. I never will forget the day that our high school principal gave us the devastating new over the morning announcements.
When I heard your name I couldn’t even describe the painful feeling that I felt. I never experienced losing someone who I loved and cared so much about. The hardest part for me was watching them bury your casket into the ground because before that moment it felt like a dream. Coping with the loss of a close friend due to suicide is never easy especially when you never got a chance to say goodbye.
One of the main reason why loosing you to suicide is so hard is because you blame yourself. For years I asked myself how did I not know? Or what should I have done differently to prevent you from making this decision? These are the questions that I had to accept the fact that I will never truly receive the answers too. But overall the memories you and I shared together helped me deal with the pain of loosing you.
I never will forget the first day we met in Mrs. Weber’s in the 6th grade. For four years you and I have shared a lot of laughs, tears of joy, and O.M.G moments that I will never forget. My love for you will never die now matter how many years go by you will always have a special place in my heart. See not too many people are lucky enough to have a beautiful guardian angel like you to watch over them. I hope I have fulfilled my promise to make you proud.
Krissy I miss you and your whimsical laugh so very much but I know you are in heaven smiling down my beautiful angel.
