Sometimes, when I feel alone, I speak to you, Danielle… I imagine what you’d say.

I often think about what we still could have been, what we could have attained together… I ponder where the future would have taken you. You, with your amazing character. We still had so many more experiences, so many more discussions to share.

I believe that you are a great person, my Danielle. Even during your lifetime, people were awed by you, and by how special you were. Your death only emphasized how many people you touched, how many lives you changed, how many individuals valued and cherished you.

I try grasping onto the belief that you are still there, just in another place, and that your soul is eternal.  It’s excruciatingly painful, because I so desperately want to see you here in person, beside me. I hope that others who held you so dear to their hearts also hold fast to the belief that you are still here. Not in a place where we can ever see you, but in a place where we can feel you living deep in our hearts.

I miss you so much, and I love you forever,

Adi Feig
