Sometimes I tell myself that this isnt real! but i just had to accept the fact that shes gone:( Amanda was such a joyful person who would bring nothing but smiles and laughter into my life! I met her my freshman year of high school and since the first day we had an interaction together, I knew she was something special! she has brought light, laughter, joy and smiles into my life. Theres times throughout the day when I catch myself reaching for my phone, wanting to send her a message, share a joke, tell her about my day. until I remember that shes gone, and my heart breaks all over again. I never imagined a world where she wouldn’t be in it. i really didnt! she left us all too early! She was more than a friend to me. She was a safe place, a source of laughter, a voice and a constant reminder that I never had to face life alone. She knew me in ways that few people ever could. I miss the little things the most. The small conversations that seemed endless. The small video chats we would have when she would cook her pasta and the memories we had in high school that we shared together! Those small moments we had together have become some of the most precious memories I carry. I want to Thank her for every laugh, every lesson, every memory, and every moment of kindness shes given me. Thank you for being the nicest, kindest and literally being the best human being that i could possibly ask for! The impact she had on my life is impossible to measure, and the love she gave continues to live in me every day. I wish I had one more day with her. One more deep conversation. One more hug. One more laugh. One more chance to tell her how much she meant to me. But since I can’t I’ll carry her with me everywhere I go, in the stories I tell, in the lessons she taught me, in the strength she helped me find, and in the memories that time can never take away. Until we meet again, I will keep living, loving, laughing, and remembering. And in those moments when I feel her memory beside me, I’ll smile, because I was lucky enough to have a friend like her. i will forever love her unconditionally and keep her in my mind!
Sincerely, Andy Medina
