Sam and Simon - Christmas week in Porto. Endi, you are never far from our hearts. Mom

To Endi on your 22nd birthday

There are so many things I would say to you if I could. Instead I will say the only words I can. That I miss you every single day. That I am crying as I write this. That I think you were and are amazing. And that the only comfort for the loss and pain of who you could have been is the joy and laughter of remembering who you were. So creative, so funny, so beautiful, so challenging, so adventurous. Please know—somehow, somewhere—that your whole family misses you and loves you … and will never forget you.

Love, Dad

Hey Endo it’s been a while since I’ve posted but a year has gone by since you left us so suddenly and the past week has been challenging and full of emotions. Everyone is still thinking of you, not a day goes by that we don’t miss you or forget you. The past week has been absolutely pouring with rain too so I guess it’s just your way of telling us you’re here and letting us cry with you for missing us just as much as we miss you. I miss you heaps and there are so so many things I wish I could have said to you. Again, sorry is the first thing I would say. I would then thank you for always looking out for me and continuing to do so. I love you Endo. Hope you’re doing well and having infinite laughs and adventures. Here’s a couple of photos - some of your friends celebrating your life and remembering all of the good times, and a couple of candles we lit after your mass at John’s. Yours always, Al.

One year ago today (June 8, 2017) I read on facebook what had happened. I remember being at work and I must have looked really shocked cause my boss had asked if I was okay. I remember my body changing from hot to cold and feeling sick. That might sound crazy cause we weren’t friends but I’d still known you and I really enjoyed the time you were spending in Germany.

So one month ago I got this tattoo as a tribute to you, Endi and to the loved ones I lost.

Miss you!

I Miss You

I’m just writing to say I miss you, I hope you can hear when I talk to you sometimes, like you remember a few weeks ago, in my car that one night when a song came on it felt as though you were right next to me, signing along with me and when the song was over I talked of all our memories and I laughed and cried but I also felt comfort. I wish you were here.
