I met Lani when she first moved into my neighborhood. It was the summer I graduated 5th grade when we became close. I remember how funny she was and the days where me and her would hang out. She was a kind person who was generous to every person she came across. Without her I would’ve never been able to come close to the amazing people I call friends. Me, Lani, and Emma would hang out everyday together and gradually she became someone who I inspired to be like; kind, beautiful, and above all else, caring. Lani always talked about how much she loved her family, reminding me and Emma everyday that she could never live In a world without her amazing family. I’ll always cherish the memories I had with her. When she passed a part of me died with her but another part of me continues to live on through her memory and generosity. Because of Lani I was able to become more humble and thoughtful in every action. I will always forever carry the grief in my heart of losing her and being unable to talk with her one last moment. If I could talk to her right now I would tell her how much I love her and that she was the best big sister I could ever ask for even though our bond wasn’t through blood. I love you lots sissy, I’ll never forget you and your love for those around you. ♡🪽
