Dear Shawn, So tonight we had the family over so we could go through all of your stuff. I never knew you were such a pack rat! Dad said I could keep a couple of your medical text books and your human anatomy books. I'm pretty excited about those! I'm really bummed that I never got to talk to you about all that kind of stuff. From what I hear, you were some amazing nurse. Today I saw a couple pictures of some of your patients. They are so cute! You really did make a difference in A LOT of lives. I want to be a lot like you someday. I want to help kids. I want to make a difference in families lives so they always remember me. I want to be able to try new things and go on adventures. I want to travel the world and see all the cool things that you saw. I want to live in Florida and then move to California. I want to explore the oceans and see things that no one has ever seen before. I want to take pictures of everything that I do. I want to meet new people and maybe fall in love. I want to be just like you. I get sad when I see pictures of me and you together. I use to be able to make you do some crazy things. You would sit very still as I put my dress up clothes on you. We danced the whole night away at my mom's wedding. I'm going to put that picture on my dresser. I feel happy when I think about how you are in a better place, but then get sad again when I think about you not being there on holidays anymore. I know how it feels sometimes when I don't think things could get any worse. If that ever happens to me again I am going to think of you and how strong of a person you were when you were here. I can't wait to see you again and talk about all the things we never got the chance to talk about. I'm I thankful to have had you as my uncle. I will never forget you. I love you. Love, Megan
