To my best friend and my sister, congratulations on your place tonight in your solo comp! you have worked so hard all year and I’m so proud of you! It’s a shame that it was your last one, but I’m glad I was there to cheer you on. Tonight felt like old times, laughing and bitching about the other girls competing! You are such an amazing calisthenics girl and an even better friend! love you lauren
i knew today was going to be hard, but wow seeing you with your other friends hugging and crying, deep down i wished it was me. i wish i was the one that had been there for you through your dads sickness, the one that had been there for you the past week and the one who sat next to you at the funeral. you were my first best friend, we were like sisters, same clothes, same hairstyles, same everything.
today broke my heart saying goodbye to your dad who was a second dad to me for all those years. we didn’t say one word to each other, just hugged and cried, sometimes a hug says it all, but i want you to know that i would do anything to have you back in my life, to catch up regularly, instead of being strangers when we see each other after months.
i know for sure that your dad would be so proud of you, his little princess and he will be watching down on you for the rest of your life.
R.I.P Ian, the world lost an amazing man, who will be missed terribly but never be forgotten.
