  13. Hey Nan,
    its me Caitlin. I miss you so much and the thought of you not being here is still so unbelievable, I just don’t know what to do without you. Thinking back to when you would come to my dance competitions, you were always one of my biggest supporters (alongside pop) and that never changed, you never stopped showing up. I’ll never get to learn your gorgeous knitting skills, play bingo with you again, or go on an hour long rant about my guinea pigs again. I’ll never get to see your face light up as you take a photo of my outfit to show all your friends at bingo. Ill keep going for you and do my very best to make you proud
    I love you eternally, Caitlin

    Thanks for everything love Adam.
