2 years is kinda crazy but ok ig I’ll do this. Hey mom, how’s it going? Uhhh things are fun rn ig. This semester seems like it’s gonna be more rigorous but then again im getting closer to Nursing shit so ig that makes sense. Can’t wait to be a nurse, something about the career is so exciting to me. Ig it’s the helping people bit, you know, ig thats important and altruism type shit or something along those lines. You know doing good unto the world actually seems like it might be a fulfilling career, who would’ve thought. But on this years “deathaversary” (were calling it that now) just wanna say how grateful I am to have had you. The more I think about it the more I realize just how well you prepared me for success. All the values that you instilled in me, all the life lessons you taught me, all the annoying moments that made us hate each other for a moment there 😅, all that made me into who I am today and I thank you for that. I think my life is on a pretty decent path, and im endless grateful for the role you played in getting me here. I love you mom, thank you so fucking much for everything. I could not have asked for a better parent ❤️. 2 años son una locura pero bueno supongo que haré esto. Hola mami ¿cómo estás? Ehhhh, todo va bien ahorita. Este semestre parece que va a ser más difícil que el anterior, pero como ya me estoy acercando a la escuela de enfermería supongo que tiene sentido. No veo la hora de ser enfermero, hay algo de esta carrera que me emociona mucho. Quizás es la idea de ayudar a los demás o ser altruista, o alguna otra huevada así. Quien hubiera pensado que hacer el bien me daría una carrera que me haría sentir realizado.Pero este año para tu “muerteversario” (lo vamos a llamar así desde hoy) quiero decir lo agradecido que estoy de haberte tenido.Ahora que lo pienso, me has preparado muy bien para ser exitoso. Todos los valores que me diste, todas las lecciones que me enseñaste, todos esos momentos que nos hacían odiarnos por un ratito😅, todo eso me convirtió a la persona que soy hoy, y por eso te agradezco. by @eddie.3205

Hey mom, how’s it going? I hope you’re doing well, as you take your endless naps on the beach, or eat all the delicious foods, or whatever you do up there. Wanted to come on here and wish you a Happy Birthday. Honestly life has been really boring recently. This semester has been just okay (don’t get me wrong I still enjoy it) but I think last semester is always going to be peak in my opinion. Right now it is just tedious work and figuring out how to not be emotionally drained. It’s my spring break this week though, so I am hoping to recharge and hit the ground running next week. I’m back in Valdosta and I’m content here. Ig I’d rather be in Athens but I have missed some of the people here. I’ve missed being able to connect with them especially dad, Chris, and my friends. I’m ranting at this point but it’s because I miss you, a lot. There have been moments lately where I’m like “you know what? Your death was really… unfortunate 😅. “ I mean seriously, it is really annoying sometimes. Like damn, God forbid a man want to talk to his mom about the psychological elements of human development that he is learning about (nerd ik but I got it from you so) or hug her incredibly tightly until she tells me to stop. I say this all with love. I really do miss you mom. Miss you every single freaking day and I hope that you understand how much I love you. Wish I could’ve had more time, talked to you more, but whatever I’ll wait ig 😒. Anyways, enough with the jokes, I love you, Happy Birthday, and I’ll see you when I get there. Hola mami, cómo estás? Espero que estes bien, disfrutando de tus descansos en la playa, comiendo rico, o hacienda lo que sea que hagas allí. Quería venir aquí para desearte un feliz cumpleaños. Ultimamente la vida ha sido muy aburrida. Este semestre ha sido okay (todavía lo estoy disfrutando), pero creo que el semestre pasado siempre será la mejor en mi opinión. Recientemente mis profesores me han dado tarea tedioso y todavía voy averiguando como no estar emocionalmente agotarme. Pero es mi Spring Break esta semana entonces, espero que pueda recuperarme para empezar mejor la próxima semana. Estoy en Valdosta y estoy feliz aquí. by @eddie.3205

hey mom. how’s it going? I hope everything’s good. You’ve missed quite a bit since I last talked to you, so lemme get you up to speed. Remember how I got accepted into UGA? Well good news, I’m there now 😁👍 and it’s awesome. The people, the food, the pool, my dorm, everything is great. My classes are pretty cool too. I’m taking bio, lifespan development, first year odyssey, Spanish and child development. All pretty easy and I know you’d be proud. Also imma major in nursing, don’t know if I told you that but there you go. But you and I both know that this fun “catch up” isn’t the reason I’m posting this today. Since today marks exactly one year since you left and that’s craaaazzyy. Ngl you leaving sucked. You dying of cancer was not exactly what I had in mind for my senior year, but I will say, I think I did keep my promise to you: I really am gonna be ok. As I already mentioned UGA is awesome but not only that, your death taught me how to be resilient throughout the shittiest of circumstances. I cannot express into words how painful your departure was. I struggled so terribly the first couple months you left. Hell, the struggle still isn’t over, but I now know how to manage it. You’ve still managed to be the biggest influence in my life, and you ain’t even here! I should’ve told you that while you were still here. Should’ve let you know how much I love you but, ig I’ll have to wait a little longer before I say all that to you. Anyway, just know that I’m living my best life (or close enough anyway) down here and not to worry. I miss you every day mom and know that I love you so much. hola mami. Como te va? Espero que todo esté bien. Te has perdido bastante desde la ultima vez que hable contigo, así que déjame ponerte al día. Recuerdas que te conte que me aceptaron a UGA? Bueno tengo buenas noticias, ya estoy allí y me encanta. La gente, la comida, la piscina, mi cuarto, todo me gusta. Mis classes también son super cheveres. Tengo biología, desarrolo de la vida, desarrolo infantil, español, y mi first year odyssey. Todas son fáciles y se que estarías orgullosa de mi. continúa abajo by @eddie.3205

Over the past 6 months, I have gone through the most difficult challenges of my life. Losing you was obviously the hardest, but I was not prepared for how difficult my swim meets, holidays, or even just applying to colleges would be without you here. I miss the small moments too, my favorite being when I used to go to your room just to hug you so hard it hurts. I never would’ve expected to cherish those memories as much as I do. That said, I had to learn how to navigate life without you, and if you were here, I think you would be proud of how far I’ve come. I’ve made some new friends, swam some fast times, and of course, continued to get straight A’s, but more importantly, I’ve become a better person. Your legacy is one of optimism. No matter the situation you always tried to enjoy the time you had on this Earth. Seeing you smile, laugh, and love even while you were facing death, was truly one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen. It made me appreciate the relationships that I have with other people, because at the end of the day, the impact I have on others is the only thing that will remain once I’m gone. As I continue on with my life, know that I am trying to follow in your footsteps. Your actions and my desire to replicate them have given me a reason to keep on going and I thank you for that. I want you to know that I love and miss you. Happy Birthday and thank you for everything you did for me. …Durante los últimos 6 meses, he pasado por los desafíos más difíciles de mi vida. Perderte,obviamente fue lo más duro, pero no estaba preparado para lo difícil que sería mis competencias de natación, vacaciones o incluso aplicar a las universidades. También extraño los momentos pequeños , mi favorito era cuando iba a tu cuarto solo para abrazarte tan fuerte que te dolía. Nunca hubiera esperado apreciar esos recuerdos tanto como lo hago. Dicho esto, tuve que aprender a navegar por la vida sin ti, y si estuvieras aquí, creo que estarías orgullosa de mí. by @eddie.3205
