Dear Kerr,
My timehop app was very bittersweet today. It pulled up every time I wished you happy birthday on Facebook. The last time was wishing you an incredible year of health and happiness, and then of course, last year... The first time I wished you happy birthday without you really turning 39.
5 years ago, Jordan's status was "happy birthday to my favorite sister Kerry Klein Butman, sorry Tessi Neuhauser". The post made me smile. The truth is, you were everyone's favorite whatever - favorite sister, friend, daughter, wife, mother, aunt. You were really someone special, someone unique. Since you were young (and had to take care of me all the time :-) you always put people before you. You wanted everyone to be happy. I really think you were just like Bubby in that way. Caring for everyone and putting them before yourself.
I don't have much to say today. It may be the 2nd birthday since you've passed, but it hurts just as bad... Just as hard. I wish we were cruising the Mediterranean as planned (or you were in Bali as I know you planned with Tammy). I can't convey in words how much I truly wish we were even just sitting on the couch watching old movies ringing in your 40th. What I wouldn't give to have you back... I sincerely hope you're able to celebrate today. I love you!!!!!
Xoxo forever and always
me
You always say exactly what is on my mind. Yes, it hurts the same as last year. It always will. Love you!!
