Casie Shimansky
She would’ve been 33 today.

I’m used to that though — that feeling, the fear — what if everything’s already been said? What If.
Two of the most haunting, paralyzing words in life.
It’s usually why my posts are well into the evening. I’m waiting on words...
I scrolled through memories, all those words already said and posted and liked and commented on...looking for that whisper that was still out there to write. I thought about all the things she’s missed...just this year alone.
She has been in my dreams, and found in cool afternoon breezes. I’ve heard her voice, and felt her push. I see her daily in our friends and family who carry her torch — sometimes she pops up in an expression Stefanie throws, other times I catch her in the mirror. She’s never stopped laughing right alongside me, and when clothes go missing...to this day, I know it’s her.

Happy Birthday, Kellie. I hope you and Reesie had one helluva day celebrating...White Claws are on me this weekend. #HeavenMightBeALeashlessDogBeach #ObviouslyHeavenHasWhiteClaws
