My soul sister

Dear Sam
 
There’s the old cliché saying “time is a healer”…but it’s been a month since you left us, a week since we all came together to celebrate your life and I’m not sure my broken heart is getting much better. And I wonder, what is it that will heal? The part of my heart that has broken since you left this life…I don’t know how it will ever fully heal. It will feel better, but the fact that you are gone means my life is undoubtedly less full without you in it. It is a month until my 1st wedding anniversary, and two months until my birthday…both milestones that will be reminders of special times had in your company…I will remember them fondly of course, but there will be hurt still.
 
I hope from the discussions we’ve had and time we’ve spent together over the last few years that you knew how special you are to me. By definition, you are my soul sister – you are that once-in-a-lifetime friend who we often feel like we are destined to meet. You understand me sometimes more than I understand myself and you were always there to give sound advice and support, with absolutely no judgement. I only had around 14 years of my life with you in it, but I felt I knew you for a lifetime. You really did just ‘get me’ and we shared so many similar views about the world and how we lived our lives – I don’t know what I would have done without you to vent to sometimes. And you have been such a mentor to me – I learnt so much, we learnt so much together, I wish we could keep on learning together…I will keep on learning for you, and your boys.
 
My memories of you and the time we spent together will live on in me and I will share them with your boys as often as I can so they know just how special you are to me and many others. As I said to you before you left us “they will be ok”, and they will because they had a Mama like you cheering for them from the start. Your tireless efforts for them will never be forgotten.
 
Your last ever communication to me was “Miss you. Xxx” – I will miss you too, so much my friend.
 
I will love you forever.
