Dear Lindsay,

I wasn’t ready. I don’t think I could have ever been completely ready, but maybe I should have been more prepared.

I’m going to miss you so much. I already do. I can’t believe I will never get another email from you. I can’t believe I will never get to look at more of your beautiful pictures. I can’t believe you’re gone.

You were amazingly strong. You worked so hard but still kept your spirits up. Your personality shined through your whole life. Even at the worst times, you found something fun, or funny, or at least something to keep you happy. You touched so many lives. I know I’m a better person for having known you and so are many others, I’m sure.

You’ll be forever in my heart.
