As I grow older I think of you more and more. I hear about how good of a person you were, god never should&#8217;ve taken you the way he did.  I love hearing stories about you, even though I haven&#8217;t heard many. I want to ask more but it hurts everyone too much to tell. From what I heard I think we would&#8217;ve gotten along very well. My dad always tells me how you would&#8217;ve loved us.  Once a year the family goes to a special mass just for you. I wished I would have served it when I had the option, I&#8217;m sorry that I said no. I hate myself when I start to become jealous of everyone that had the opportunity to meet you. I get angry that cancer took you before we even had the chance to meet. I think about if you&#8217;ve watched us all grow up over the years.  My life would have been much different if you were there with me.  Whenever I pass by your picture on the shelf I climb on the couch to take it down. I hold it and think about what my life would have been like if I lived it with you. I still pray that I&#8217;ll meet you one day, I pray that I&#8217;ll go to bed and when I wake up I can go visit you. But I can&#8217;t. I won&#8217;t be able to visit you for a long time and it hurts me to think that way. I hope the world was everything you wished it was while you experienced your time on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m really sorry that we never met.
