A Dear Jen Letter

By Jerry Simpson

Dear Jen,

It has almost been a year since you made your exit and things have not been the same. I have not been the same so that is why I am writing this letter. I have to let you go I can't go on like this. Me wishing you were here and you not being here. I can't get through a day without saying to myself god I wish Jen was here. Now this month on the seventeenth it will be one year and I think it is time to let you go. It is going to be very painful but I have to do it I know you will understand. It is time I get back my life it is time for me to be a husband,father,son,brother and uncle. As long as I can get through this month I will make it I will have let you go and got on with my life. Please God let me through this month. Jen I love you so much and I will never forget you. You will be in my heart for the rest of my life but I need to get you out of my head so I can live. I was your big brother for twenty nine years it was a great run. But now it over and I hope you understand I have other things that I have to do first and most important I have to be a dad and make sure that Anthony know that he had one of the greatest Aunts ever. Ok it is time me to say good bye I will miss you God will I miss you but I will see you someday I hope not for a long time but we will see each other again.

Love Jerry
