A special place in my heart for a special girl.

Although it has been a while since she has passed Kelsey still has a place in heart and always will. I will never forget the night I found out, I was lying in bed and my friend texted me and told me the news. At first I didn't believe it, I sat there and tried to let it sink in, but I just wouldn't believe it. I saw her the Friday before, she always said hi to me when I passed her in the halls, in the morning. It was so hard to believe that I would never see her again. The previous year's (7th and 8th grade) we became good, close, friends, and I never thought I would lose her so abruptly. I do believe the saying "You do not know what you have until it is gone" is true, after experiencing this terrible event. I sat right next to her in computer's class last year and we always helped each other out, when we needed it. She was always there for me whenever I needed her, she was the best. Today as I looked in my pencil case i saw this little piece of paper. I read it and almost cried. It was from Kelsey-- "Blake love's Kelsey so much <3." Those words are definitely true, and always will be. I was also surprised I had even kept that, because she wrote it for me last year. Kelsey I will always love you and you will always have a special place in my heart :) R.I.P Kelsey Koepfler-- 9/21/13.
