Five. How has it been 5 years already?

It’s Thanksgiving Weekend. I’m feeling sad in more ways than one. So much has happened since you’ve been gone. 2020 was a year that changed everything, the world changed and our world changed. What I would give to be on the dance floor with you one last time.

I think of you often. One of my best friends lives in Macewan, literally 1 minute away from your moms house. I always look down the street to your house when I drive by. I’ve probably been there a thousand times to pick you up and drop you off.

I knew that this day was coming, I kept my weekend pretty open so that I could just be and feel what I needed to feel. I still remember the day I got the call like it was yesterday. How my chest got tight, and how I just.. went blank, went down onto the floor in the bathroom. But that’s not what I want to remember the most. I want to remember our countless nights out, dancing to good music, and probably having more drinks than we should have had. They are memories that I’ll cherish forever. You were always down to go out and have a good time and make new memories. It’s sad to think that we won’t have anymore. But I’ll always have all of my photos and videos to look back on. There’s even a canvas with your picture on it in my loft that I got as a gift.

I’ll light the candle I got for you on your birthday next week, the big 3-5.
Life is so short, I promise to never forget it or take it for granted.
Happy Birthday Reachiz.

Love,
Party Mom ❤
