Kuzz I miss u already. 😭😭😭 this gonna be hard, they say that no1 is ever really truly gone until u stop remembering them,I think there is truth in this. When u left this earth a great part of me went missing but I think u left some of u behind 4 me to find. When u left this earth I gathered my thoughts I closed my eyes and for a moment it felt like u were here with me again, I gathered yr pictures, I studied yr face harder then I ever have, I sat there listening to yr voice messages remembering the sound of yr voice and the times we shared, and for a moment those pictures brought u bak to life. When you left this world I found as many reasons as I could to talk about u to remember wat u taught me and showed me, and for a moment we are living in those memories again. Everyday I find as many reasons as I can to remember u I find as many reasons as I can to not let the rest of u leave this earth, and every day it brings me peace to know that as long as I remember u my beautiful kuzin a part of u will always be here. Kuzin the one thing I do know is that although people say time heals and it gets easier each day the pain never really goes away. Say hi to my beautiful dad from me my kuz thanku for accepting me and giving me a chance. Until we meet again my kuzin look after her dad, until we meet again my kuzin looks like they needed another angel in heaven unfortunately I'm forever grateful I didn't miss out on u kuzz rest in peace my kuzz till we meet again love u always love me and the kids xxxxx ♥️ 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
