A letter to Laura, three years later...

Laura. Our beautiful girl.

It’s been three years since we lost you and, well - what can we say? It feels fresh as ever, and unfair as ever. There’s a lot of good happening all around us, but bad alongside it, and this world really could’ve used you in it. Your vibrant self, being clever and funny and coming up with incredible ideas and lighting up the worlds of everyone around you.

We promised you’d be our touchstone for love, for friendship, for strength, and we have kept that promise.

We promised we would talk to you, laugh with you and love you, and we have kept that promise.

We promised we would hold you in our hearts, and that’s exactly where you remain.

You are so missed, always, not just today, but every day.

With forever love and appreciation for you, Laura, from your family and friends.
