My love, you're gone now. Physically gone.
But for me, you're still here in spirit. You were with me at the park Tuesday, the day that marked one week since your death. You've been with me almost every night since that Tuesday two weeks ago, talking to me in my dreams, getting me up in the mornings to make it to class on time.

Heather, love, you've been trying to tell me something very important for the past few nights. Finally, last night i understood what you were trying to tell me. You left us all a gift when you went to Heaven. And last night I finally discovered a part of the gift that you left me. The gift of love.

You showed me people that I hadn't seen in years, hadn't talked to in a long time. People that you didn't kno. And yet, you made me see that these were people I needed to hold on to, that I couldn't let go. And for that I thank you, love. Thank you for showing me that I needed to love, not just my family and you, but everyone else I hold dear.

Love, you truly were one of a kind. I'm glad that you were a part of my life, and that I was blessed with your smile and kind heart. I love you, and always will. But you showed me that is not enough. And I thank you for that, too.

Please continue to watch over us, love.
You left us, but just don't abandon us, k?
I love you <3
