Anna, It’s been a year since you left us, and not a single day has passed without me missing you deeply. Your love, your light, and your strength are still a part of me, guiding me every step of the way. I wanted to share something I know you’d be proud of—I’m in nursing school, just like you always encouraged me to do. I’ve worked so hard, and now I only have one more semester of prerequisites before I start the real nursing program. I can hear your voice in my head cheering me on, just like you always did. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and I’m doing this for both of us. You’ve always been my inspiration. Watching how brave and loving you were, even through everything you endured, made me realize how much I want to help others the way you helped everyone around you. Every step I take on this journey feels like I’m carrying a piece of you with me. I miss you so much, Anna. Your absence is a hole that nothing can fill, but your love remains a light that keeps me moving forward. I hope I’m making you proud, and I hope you know that I’m living this dream for both of us. You’ll always be my guiding star. I love you endlessly
