๐Itโs been three months since you were taken from us so tragically, Niki. With each passing day, the ache of your absence grows deeper. Mom says, saying โl miss youโ feels like an understatement, everyday. ๐ญ๐
Preo, (pic below) - your and Zakโs lifelong friend, couldnโt be at your graduation service, but he sent a heartfelt tribute that we read out in church. He also kept the promise he made to Momโto dedicate a day to you both when he arrived. He came in from Dublin on Saturday, and yesterday we spent the afternoon honoring you and Zak together. We shared hundreds of memories, laughed and cried, but, as the time passed we felt warm in our hearts, feeling grateful for your lives and time that we had with you both.....
Preo, whoโs now an international chef, shared one of your young adult cook-offs where your meal came out far tastier than his. He had to admit it then and thereโNiki, your chow really was the bomb ๐. And yes, this was back when you were training as a chef too. Ps. We talked about doing a cook-off in your honour... โค๏ธ
Mom says, sheโs prouder of you with each passing day and wishes she could tell you that in person. She never got to see all the extra wonderful qualities your friends talk about, because life was justโฆ life-ing, as it does for all of us, l guess.
Thank you, with a humble and grateful heart to everyone for the messages of care, the visits, the beautiful flowers, and the many tributes still being shared even three months later. It means more than we can say.๐
๐Zak and Niki, we miss you both.๐ We will always love you.๐ Never stop being our Angels, because we will never stop looking out for the signs of your special love and care.๐
Justice for Niki
