| In Bri Fashion! |
| Wednesday, June 4, 2008 |
Dear Brianne:
I never knew your real name was Brianne, it was always Bri, and since your last name was so hard to pronouce, I just always assumed your first name was the same. There I go stereotyping you native Americans!
Today was your party! What a great idea. Your family never would have been able to do it if it hadn't been your idea. But it was definately a Bri party! Several people came in their Bri fashion with tye-dye shirts, mis-matched fashions, and trucker hats. We definately met new people and mingled. Heck, I even met the doctor who delivered you! Outside of your mom, he had us all beat for the one who had known you the longest. Some impression you must have made on him!
The line was long to see you. Most of us just stopped in for a minute because you were so tired. Your mom sat with you the whole day though. We knew it wouldn't be long, and honestly most of us felt like you would leave us as soon as the party was over. I know you were hanging on to go out with a bang.
At 8:00 tonight, you closed your eyes for the last time. You peacefully slipped away, and left your party here on earth to join the huge celebration in heaven. We all imagined, you were looking down, going "Guys! You call that a party?! You should see how they do it up here." But we gave it our best. I do have a confession. Despite the fact that we all told you we wouldn't...we did cry. But don't worry, we didn't let the sadness last too long. Liz started it off telling funny stories, and your mom, and grandma, Ashley, Bo, and your brothers shared story after story, keeping us all entertained. You were quite the funny girl you know....yeah, you know.
Bri, you were an incredible girl...start to finish. You never conformed, and never fit into life's box. But most importantly, you were selfless. I'll never forget the Sunday at church when Damian told you that I was going to have another surgery the next day. You made a point to tell me that you had chemo the next day, and nothing better to do during your treatment than to pray for me during my surgery. You truly are a great friend! I can't wait to see you again!

It's hard to imagine her being gone, but after the way I saw her yesterday, I'm glad she let go. It wasn't a way to live.
