I miss you ruya the best sister anyone could ask for i miss playing mario with you <3

Dear Ruya, 

I wish you knew how many times you cross my mind. I used to go to school with you during middle school. I had only gotten to know you for a short time, but within that short time (before I was homeschooled), you became one of my greatest friends. 

We had the same cooking class with Ms. Mack, I never knew why you were always absent, but when you were there, I always had the best time with you. You brought this sense of comfort that anyone could feel when you walked into the room. I remember how much I loved your gentleness. I felt our energies matched, and that is why I got along with you so well. It was already tough for me to make friends, but talking to you was never difficult for me. 

Next month, it will be your birthday. A kid should never have to lie about why they were absent all the time. I remember you would always tell me it was an issue with your foot. Thinking about those times breaks my heart now. At times I think, "Why?" You were so young, so smart, so beautiful. There are so many things I wish you could have experienced. You deserved more time. I was younger and I did not understand the concept of losing someone, but as I grew up, your death made an even bigger impact on the person I have become.  

I think of you all the time, sweet girl. I hope to see you again someday. I know my cat is having the best time with you and taking care of you. I know how much you loved your birds, and I wonder if you have gotten to reunite with them. You are loved by so many. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. Everything I do, everything I achieve, I will do it for you.

This was during my 7th grade in lakeside middle school. Ruya was one of my good friends who I hung out with every day during lunch and tutorial period in the library. I can never forget her sarcastic humor that never failed to make me laugh, her silent support whenever I was sad with family issues, and her lighting up when she talked about her lovely birds. I was suddenly reminded of her today and I couldn’t stop crying from my joyful memories of her. Thank you so much for raising such a beautiful daughter and I promise, she is always looking after you.
