Hey Squirrel,
I wrote my Facebook post for your 18th birthday about accepting the impossible - Do you recall?
May 15, 2023
Today I am working on accepting the impossible.
It feels impossible to believe that you have only been in my life for 8 years.
It feels impossible to grasp that you are about to launch and head away to college.
It feels impossible that an only child would turn into the BEST big sister in the world.
It is impossible for me to put into words how much I love you and how proud I am of the woman you are.
But here we are, facing the impossible.
Happy 18th birthday, Squirrel. You are truly amazing. I wish you all the best in a world of endless possibilities. Love you🐿💗❣️

Today, I am drowning in the impossible.
It feels impossible to believe you were only 19—how can someone so full of life, so full of promise, be gone?
It feels impossible to grasp that we will never hear your voice again, never see your smile light up a room.
It feels impossible to imagine a world without you, without your energy, your warmth, your love.
How is it possible that someone so beautiful and so bright was taken from us so suddenly, so painfully?
It is impossible for me to find the right words to express the depth of this loss, the ache in my heart that will never fade. I want to scream at the injustice of it all, but all that remains is a deafening silence where you should be.
Amelia, you were one of the brightest lights in our lives, and the world is unbearably dimmer without you. I will carry this grief with me forever, and though it feels impossible to keep going, I will hold on to the endless love you gave me. Always.
