Dear Rachel,
This week I have felt you bring love peace and happiness to the home by, once again, being supportive.  This week Grandpa Larson passed away and for whatever reason, it it me a little harder than I thought it would.  You were amazing.
You listened to me reminisce and share experiences I had with him.  You laughed with me, came close to crying with me, and hugged me when I needed it.  I know there were some times where I was ornery just because it had been a long week, and you let me vent, took over some of my responsibilities and cut me way more slack than I probably deserved.
Then, as if that wasn't enough, you found me a way to go home for the funeral.  You are good and noticing what is important to our family, and making it happen.  It is very easy for my personality to say " I wish I could, but its not convenient so I won't..." but you approach life with a different attitude and really look for a way to get things done.  I appreciate that his week.  You researched all the options, many I would not have even thought of, and found a way to make it work.  Then you had the inspiration enough( yes I'm going with it was inspiration) to check the flights again, after you had already looked, to find a flight that would work our perfectly.  I truly feel like you helped to perform a little miracle and I love you for that.
I was so glad that I could make it home for the funeral and you are 100% responsible for that. It gave me a chance to support my grandma, see family that I hadn't seen in years, and have a chance to grieve.
I love you so much,
Brandon
