Hey guys!
Some of you might know that I lost a very, very special friend some months ago. And still hurts as if I was getting the news right now. I ranted about it today and Kristy the Boo suggested be to write a letter for her, and I did. It helped me so much to relieve the pain and even remember really nice things.
So why not create a thread for us to write letters or short messages together for loved ones that aren’t among us anymore? Not exactly a letter to be read (after all, not everyone believes in the afterlife) , but to be written. Just putting your thoughts in the paper to clear your mind and organize your feelings, sometimes we might have lost someone long...long ago, but it still hurts to think about it.

Dear Sadie kitty,
It's another Christmas. I wish they would hang your stocking up again. I know you loved getting all the toys and things.
We have a new dog. His name's Sawyer, and he is very sweet but sometimes the perfect annoying little brother for Eloise. Of course, you would know that, seeing as you're looking out for me and all.
I just want you to know that when I get two new kitties, I won't love you any less. In fact, I would love it if you could watch them and teach them all the wonderful things about life that I taught you.
I have a strange feeling. You are reading this right now as I type it, aren't you?
Love,
Your Sae

Hey there Neighbor,
I know I kind of dropped off as I got older. I know I visited more when I was a kid. I had my excuses. I was getting busier with schoolwork, and I had trouble with social anxieties and all. But if I knew what you were going to do while I was away for a semester of school, I would've probably visited at least one more time before going away, at least so I could get a proper goodbye.
I'm sorry for not visiting more. In your age, it wasn't fair to you. And you were pretty fun to talk to. You probably had more stories that you could've told; more things you could've said. And it's not like I'm so secretive that I have absolutely no stories to share. I guess there was no way for me to know how much pain you were in. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and sorry that not enough people visited you to distract you during that time. You deserved more company than that.
Anyway, you were really fun as a kid, and you had a nice sense of kindness. I don't think I ever remember you saying something ill towards me or even at others. I don't know everything you did in a day, but the way you kept up with your long walks every day inspired me. And the way you kept on going. What happened at the end didn't change that.
Well, since I didn't get a proper goodbye... Goodbye. Thanks for all the fun times, all of your kindness, and your inspiration.
-One of your neighbor's kids

Dear mum,
This is never an easy letter to write and so I suppose I'd like to keep it brief. I'd just like to let you know that I'm doing well, and so is everyone in the family. It's been seven years almost exactly since you died and yet it hurts as much as if it were yesterday. I think of you everyday, and I miss you loads. You truly were such a wonderful person, and I'd like to thank you for everything you did in your life for me and others. You taught me so many things about being a good person and I'd like to think I'm doing you proud.
With love, always
Your daughter

Dear Daniel,
You were taken away from us when you were so little, I never got the chance to know you, but I have always loved you, and I always will. Though I wish I could have had my brother with my every Christmas, I know you're in a wonderful place waiting for us to come home to you.
Love, always,
Your sister. |

Dear Grandpa V.
While I had a great Christmas this year, I must admit that it was a little bit depressing not having you here to celebrate it with us. It's a weird feeling to look back at our Christmas last year; our first one in your new condo but the last one we would have together. At that time, we didn't know that you would be gone in a few months; we all thought that there would be more Christmases for us to spend together. Needless to say, you are not with us anymore and your stocking was left empty this year. I know that you wouldn't want your family to continue to grieve your passing; you want us to celebrate the good times we have throughout the year, so that is what we did. While we didn't mourn over our loss this year, we did remember you this Christmas and we will continue to remember the legacy of your life for many more years to come.
Thank you for everything you have done, Grandpa; you are dearly missed and we look forward to the day when we shall be reunited in eternal glory.
Your grandson,
Kozma
