Dear Sambo,
I can't believe it's been five years since you've been home. We miss you so much. This pain still hurts like it did the first day, and every day after for the last five years. Every day is extremely hard for us to try to go on without you. We just can't seem to do it. We love you and we miss you so much. I can't believe your life was cut short at just 19. Birthdays and holidays just aren't the same. There's always an empty spot at the table where you should be. We struggle every day to try to make sense, but nothing ever makes sense. Our hearts are forever broken. There is nothing that can mend them, not even time. We're trying to find a way to live this life without you here, and it seems impossible. The pain is unbearable and debilitating. Your life was so full of hope and love and dreams, and it was selfishly taken away. I can't say enough how much you are terribly missed by us and your whole family. Just know everybody loves you and misses you and wishes you were here with us. We love you, Sambo.
Love, Mom, Dad, Chantalle, William, Rachel, Layla, Addie, Liam, and Violet.
