And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.

I have heard that the best way to get closure is to just get everything out there. So slowly but surely, that's what I am trying to do. I have wrote 12 pages so far about you Avery. Memories, feelings, emotions, everything. It really is helping. So for anyone who might be reading this, try it. I'm not saying it eases all of the pain, because I am still in pain every single day. Not a day goes by that you aren't on my mind at least 95% of the day. I try so hard to be strong but sometimes I just can't. Even the strongest people break. This isn't really a memory, but I just felt like writing a few things out for some reason. I miss you, but it's more than a missing. It's like a piece of me is missing. I feel empty and numb. I have never felt this way before and I would wish this feeling on no one. I still cry every single day, mostly at night when I'm laying there thinking about you and no one is around. I just cannot seem to grasp the fact that you really are gone. I know that I will see you again someday, but at the moment, someday just doesn't seem good enough for me. I want someday to be right now, right this second, I want you with me. I want to make more memories, and I know people will try to comfort me and say it's okay we'll see him again sometime, and I appreciate those people so much, but it just doesn't seem good enough. So much has changed since you have been gone. I will try to add a few positives to this very long passage. I have decided that I am definitely going to enlist in the National Guard! Just like we always talked about. I enlist tomorrow. Also, I have decided that I want to go to school to be a psychiatrist. I want to help diagnose people with mental illnesses so that they can be helped. Well I guess I'm kind of just rambling. I miss you so much, I need you to watch over me and help me through this. I love you and you will always be in my heart. I love you best friend.
I also want to add that if anyone ever feels like they need someone to talk to, or if you just want to talk about Avery, anything please feel free to text me. 317-666-0950
