Put the fear aside.

You needed to see it. You needed to see how the future could be. This is your sign to keep going. To get better. A sign of how you could live if you put the fear aside. Keep going.

Happy.

Happy. Happy for trying. Happy for being that brave. Happy for not giving up. You are not going to walk around the city with a suitcase forever. Keep going. You got this.

This is it.

This is it. This time, you're taking big steps forward, as if someone is running after you. You can do it. You know you can. Your grandmother is watching you, make her proud.

The best. You were the best.

We went to your house today. It was the first time we had gone there since you were gone. This place doesn't feel like a home anymore. It feels different. Who knew one day we would come here, and you would be gone. You were not there to give me a hug or wave to me from the window. I wish I knew you wouldn't be here forever. I wish I was smart enough to tell you all the things I didn't.

I miss you.

I miss you. I wear your clothes. I use your gold-colored cutting scissors. I want to call you and tell you so many things. Everything in my room reminds me of you; pieces you helped me sew, patterns you made from kitchen paper towels, and even a bra you made me more than twenty years ago. I wish I knew you wouldn't be here forever.
