All my love goes out to Hope. I was very young when I first met her at MCA, as I was only in 3rd grade. Hope helped me with homework, missing assignment, all the hard stuff. She told me that she had the same birthday and I instantly attached to her. I didnโt get to see her much due to the grade difference, but whenever I did it was like seeing a ray of sunshine. When I got the news, it was like a stab in the heart. Even though I didnโt know much about Hope, I loved her. She was everything I would want in a friend. I cried for so many days, I didnโt even know I could feel that sad about a person. Hope has never left my mind since then. Iโm soon to be a junior, and every year I wish her a happy birthday. Every time I see something that reminds me of her, I always make sure to tell her in my prayers. I hope the family is well, and all my love goes to Hope. ๐๐๏ธ
