Dear Lee Valdez

 

Hi Lee, 

I can't believe I'm writing this goodbye letter to you. A part of me is still waiting for a text from you, but here we are. I've known you since my twenties, and you have become an important person in my life. Thank you for being such a kind friend and for always being there to listen. Most people didn't want to see it because you were different, but you were an amazing man. You were very smart and an awesome writer. You had a huge heart. You were giving (almost too giving sometimes lol). I'll always remember our chats, jokes, and secrets. We could be ourselves and were in our little own world when we chatted. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to comfort you. I'm sorry for not checking on you after Halloween. I should've said more the last time we spoke. Even though I saw you slipping away, I was trying to remain positive. I just hoped you would bounce back from this somehow. You'll be in my heart forever. You were and will remain one of my best friends. I'm glad you aren't suffering anymore. You can be at peace now. My heart is breaking, but I know you'll always hear me from heaven. 

I love you so much. See you later. 

Smooches, hugs, and think Tink.
