Ache after ache. Another milestone that Leah is not a part of. Oh, how much you would have accomplished at 16—honor roll student, learner’s permit, first job, your shop, and so much more. I’m left with this ache that only grows heavier, but despite it all, I will always celebrate you. Not a day goes by that we don’t miss you and wish you were here with us. For now, I hope we continue to make you proud—especially your little sister as she blows out the candles for you. Happy 16th heavenly birthday to my best friend and my first true love, Leah. Forever and always. 💔🕊️
