Kate Dreston on Confessions & Coffee

After someone you love dies, you want to touch the things they've touched or hear things about them you didn't know before. After my brother died, I would've loved to have had anything written from him to me. So, I sat down one day and penned a letter to the people I loved the most. It was just a couple of paragraphs stating how much they mean to me and complementing them on personal qualities like their integrity, kindness, compassion, etc. I put it with my will and I hope they will find comfort in my words when I'm gone.
