Birthday

Kelly-Anne was 24 years, 10 months, and 8 days old when she died.

Today would have been her 26th birthday.

It is so hard to believe that yet another one of her birthdays is here and she is no longer with us. The tragedy and reality of what happened to my dear friend is finally sinking in. I miss her each and every day, and on days like this, when she should be celebrating, the loss is even more acute.

I was looking forward to seeing how Kelly-Anne's life turned out. She had so much in store for the coming years--and it was all taken away in an instant. We will not ever get to know what would have happened to her in terms of career, love, marriage, and children.

This is a haunting loss that will never end...

We miss you so much Kelly-Anne.
