Dearest Cricket,
I still remember the first time we met. You looked at me, smiled, and said, “You look just like your Dad.” Then you turned to Mom and joked that maybe she shouldn’t have been so mad at him. That moment stuck with me, because that was you — finding humor, making people laugh, and bringing light even in the simplest conversations.
It’s strange how the little moments become the ones that stay in your heart the longest.
Your humor, your presence, and the way you could make people smile will truly be missed. The world feels a little quieter without you in it.
Rest in peace, Cricket. When you see my mom, give her the biggest hug for me… and please tell my dad I miss him more than words could ever explain.
