I know in my heart that you’re never going to read this, but I feel I must express myself while I still have the inspiration to write. Its nearly been two years without you around.. that’s not something that I think I’ll ever get used to. I can still hear you coming home from wherever the world had taken you that day in the 100 degree heat & saying “Don’t worry about me, I’m made out of steel.” 
          	
          	I’m your daughter so I know some of that strength you had is in me too, even if I don’t always feel it.
          	
          	I’ve been thinking about this a lot.. it occurs to me that if you saw me today, you probably wouldn’t recognize me. I was just a child when you felt you had to leave to find yourself.. and I’m still just getting started. 
          	
          	But I’m okay, I know you were worried that I wouldn’t be. I hope wherever you are, you know that I will continue to thrive and be the best me that I’m able to be until the day comes when my heart simply stops beating.
