Dear Beanie

I am so sorry for your loss. And I truly hate saying that.
I hate saying it because I know that it doesn't make it any easier. Saying I am sorry doesn't really help you. Sure, it lets you know that I am here for you and I am thinking about you. But you already knew that.

I hate saying it becuase it doesn't take away the pain that is in your heart right now. I hate saying it because I have nothing better to say.

I wish that he was still here. I wish that you could have known and had been able to say goodbye. I wish that you had just one more day with him.

I am very close with my Dad. And that is why I think I am so upset by this. To know that my best friend just lost her Dad is very painful. I know that you were not and could never have been ready for this loss.

Just know that I am here for you. You are in my thoughts always as is your entire family. I can truly feel your pain and your loss and it hurts me deep to my core.

You, Sheryl and I are soul sisters and we will always be together to support, hug, giggle and cry.
