Dear AJ Draws, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve stared at this blank page for what feels like forever, just trying to find the right words to say to you. But maybe there are no “right” words—just the ones that come from the heart. I miss you. So much. It hurts more than I thought it would, not having you around. You were always there—whether it was to make me laugh, to draw something amazing, or just to remind me I wasn’t alone. You had this way of making everything feel a little brighter, even on my worst days. And now that light feels gone. I don’t know what happened or why you had to leave, but I wish I could’ve said more before you were gone. I wish I could’ve told you how much you meant to me. That you weren’t just a best friend—you were like family. Someone I could count on. Someone who got me. So many things remind me of you—little inside jokes, characters you drew, silly memories we made. I hold onto them tight because… they’re all I have left now. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Maybe you’re out there living your life, maybe you needed space, or maybe something happened and I’ll never know the full story. But no matter what, I’ll always keep a space in my heart for you. If you ever come back, even for a second… know that I’m still here. Still caring. Still hoping you’re okay. And I’ll never forget you. With all my love, Rose
