It’s been a tough day, one of those days that I wish you were here. I opened one of your journals and I couldn’t help but laugh at how similar we are. Just like my journals yours are incomplete.. halfway filled and you skip pages, then decide to write on the last pages, just like me! I read some of your words and was somewhat comforted, not completely though because it only highlighted your absence. I had to bring myself back to what you would have told me in this moment. You would have told me to focus on the good, which is that I have your journals to read. In your absence I have something tangible to bring your memory to life. Thank you for keeping these journals, for writing them. I wish I had more.. I miss you more than I allow myself to feel sometimes…. This journal entry is the one that reminded me of everything you taught me and like always was exactly what I needed in this very moment!
