Heidi,
I don’t even have words to describe how heartbroken we all are. We miss you so much.
These past two years of knowing you and your family have been two of the best years.
Angela is completely right when she stated that you became more than just “the sister I took care of” and I know we became more than just “the girl who took care of your sister” to you.
I will miss walking through the door seeing you with a big smile saying “There she is! It’s Ms Megan! How are you today?”
I’ll miss sharing my every day life with you. Showing you pictures of events that happened over the weekend.
I’ll miss making you laugh your ass off.
I’ll miss teasing you with Angela just so we could be a pain in your ass.
With missing so much more than that, I’ll miss calling your name and having you answer back, the most.
You became another mother. You listened to our problems. You gave us advice. You did a lot for us even though I know you’d say otherwise. You just had so much love in your heart. You were so excited for me to move to CA but you were more excited for me to move back home. You always told me you missed my laugh, my smile, and just me all around when I came home.
Well, I miss your laugh, your smile, and just you all around.
I never in a million years thought I’d miss the smell of a cigarette. Just yours though hahah but I’d take that in a heartbeat to have you back.
You’ve always wanted to hear me sing but I never would. As long as you’re my angel while I’m behind the wheel, you can hear me all you want. ❤️?
I know you’re in a better place now with your loved ones who you missed so much.
I just hope you’re having a blast with all your unlimited Dunkin Donut Iced Coffees now ❤️
Please watch over all of your girls ?
I love you.
