Dear James

I don't know where to begin.

It's been a bit over a year and from time to time, I still think about you. When I say from time to time, I mean at some time during the day, something reminds me of you. The pain has dulled a bit, most of the time when I think of you, I smile. I smile really big.

I've told you a million times how much you've changed me, but you have; both when you were alive and now. I believe with my whole heart that you were and are my soul mate. My best friend. You've made me a better person, you helped me find my voice, and most of all, you believed in me so much.

You were the person to keep me grounded and told me every time we talked that I have the right to be loved by someone and that one day some guy is going to be so lucky because no one will ever love him as much as I do. I still feel doubt sometimes, but your voice always plays in my head to stop doubting myself and stop worrying. Everything will fall into place when it needs to.

I also want to thank you. You were the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Everything happens for a reason, as much as I want to know the reason why God took you out of everyone's lives when you were so young, I won't know until I see you again in heaven. I know you're here, from time to time I can feel you give me a big James hug and let me know that everything's going to be alright. You're my angel and I love you more than words could ever describe.

Love always and forever,

Jenna Rae Marie Kvale
