Tomorrow marks 22 years and it never gets easy. I’ve been through so much and quite frankly, I never imagined myself without you . I wish I’d never filled myself with anger because of your passing. I held on to my anger, it’s all I had connected to you. I feel guilty letting it go now. Please understand I had to let it go. It was ruining my life. I still pray for justice but I’m nobody yo be making demands when it comes to God. I will love you forever
