I can’t even begin to create words… I feel empty.. I am beyond devastated… I hope you know how much I love and will miss you Kali! You were beautiful and had so much life ahead of you! I watched you grow up and can’t imagine life now without you! Words can’t even describe how I feel right now! I never ever imagined a day like this to come and I wish someone could tell me it was a dream. You are so beautiful and so loved and can’t wait until we meet again one day! Now you are out of pain. You are an angel watching from above! And until we meet again one day just know how much I loved you my baby sister
