Dear Megan, My first day of kindergarten in Mrs. White’s class, I met you. We both had pigtails but yours were way longer so I wanted to be your friend. My first sleep over was at Kristina’s house on Presidio with the three of us. We sang in the choir together and you always got the solos because you had the most amazing voice . My first time away at vacation bible school we went to Texas for the first time and were bunk mates. Your dad baptized us one Sunday after church in the old gym at Price. I always got out of being on punishment if I told my mom I was going to your house. My parents always trusted you were going to keep me out of trouble. We came to visit you in Vegas for our high school graduation trip and we missed our flights home because we met Army guys on the strip. That still is my favorite trip to Vegas . Even though we were only 17 we found a way to do everything! I told you and Kristina I was pregnant with Kayla before anyone and you told me don’t trip just don’t have another baby until I was married. You watched Kayla for me when I needed to work extra shifts and got a second job when I moved to Vegas. You were the sole witness at my secret wedding, then came to my real wedding and acted like you knew nothing. We lost our mothers . When my mom died you stayed the night with me after the funeral and told me it wouldn’t get easier only different. We grew up together, lived together, you always got me out of trouble , we experienced the best and the worst parts of our lives together. You taught me how to be a good friend , how to roll with the punches and still come out on top. You were the first at everything... to live on your own, get married, buy a house, get your masters degree . I always wanted to be more like you. I am heartbroken and stunned 💔 I always know what to say but in this moment I have no words. I just want everyone to know how much good you brought to everyone and that I can’t imagine not having the next milestone, girlfriend catch up session , or making the random call that I am on a flight to Vegas without you . Forever your friend and sister 💕
