i wanted to write a letter to everyone i’ve ever been impacted by, to tell them all of the things i wanted to do, all of the things time wouldn’t allow me to accomplish, the ways they’ve helped shape the person i became, i was going to start with brooke.

i wanted to tell her how much she made me smile, the way i felt when she walked into a room…i wanted to thank her for bringing out the child in me, for singing with me even when there weren’t lyrics, for dancing with me if there was no music, for blowing bubbles with me at the park and for taking me by the hand in more ways than one.

i felt the tears start to fall down my cheeks, and i looked down at the only words i’d written on the tablet.

“i love you”

it was coming closer, and faster than i knew how to handle, today i was going to visit my mom, instead i’m turning off the lights and falling back into bed…it seems funny to rest now knowing i’ll be gone in a few days time…

im really going to miss this bed.
