brad Happy birthday, little sister. 11 months ago, today, we were forced to say goodbye way too fucking soon. And since, not a single day has been whole. You left us with a big empty spot in a whole lot of hearts.
.
I can't celebrate this day WITH you, so instead I'll celebrate YOU - the strongest, bravest woman I've ever met.
.
I wish I could go back and do it over again and be a better big brother. Yet where I fell short, you picked up the slack. Who knew that it'd be YOU teaching ME about what truly matters most.
.
I promise to forever celebrate your short, full life by not wasting time, or taking things for granted. I promise to love bigger and forgive more often. I promise to do my damnedest to let the little things go, and hold on to the big things even tighter. I promise.
.
I would trade anything to wish you a happy birthday today, and I'm angry I can't. I'm angry these words feel so insubstantial, when your memory deserves so goddamn much.

Thank you for being the world's biggest little sister. I will work every day to make you proud. I love you, Kenz. We miss you. ❤️
