Dear Sami

Dear Sami~Letter 1

Dear Sami,

I came to visit you, to hold your hand, to feel the heat radiating from your body when I snuggle up to you. But the warmth was gone. You lay still and sound, not making a move. The buzz of the machines around me echoed in my head. A few tears slipped out of my ears and slid down my face. They dripped on the sheets beside you and the sheets soaked in the wetness. I stayed for an hour as I do everyday. Sami I'm sorry you were there at the time. You didn't deserve this. Trapped in your own body. You hadn't made a movement for the last 6 weeks. The only movement you had made so far was a slight quicken of your heartbeat that lasted merely 2 seconds. Everyone's in pain Sami, your parents they yearn for you to come back. You've been in this coma for seven months Sami. These 7 months have been the worst seven months of my life. I want you to smile, the smile that brightens my day. Your laugh is like the sounds from the heaven. No one ever used to be able to be sad even if they tried when they were around you. Everyone at school envied you, the way your beautiful long blonde locks bounced around when you skipped while giggling down the hall. I never envied you, you deserved every bit of what you worked so hard for. But in that dreadful moment everything was taken away from you. That call I received from you parents those three words they cried over the phone "Sami's in hospital" was enough to send my whole world crashing down. I want you back Sami, when I received that phone call it was like half my soul was ripped. I was born as a half and you were my other half. You were and are my best friend and I need you Sami, everyone does. Keep fighting, for yourself Sami, for me.

Love, Savannah
