Greg sat there, not exactly sure how to put into words the way he was feeling. Greg had always admired Sara. She had always accepted him. Sara had been there whenever he had needed someone. He finally started.

Sara,

What can I say? Where do I begin? Ecklie brought in this counselor because he thought we needed to deal with your leaving. The counselor wanted us to talk about it. When she got no response, she wanted us to write letters to you. Like we know where you are and can send them. Not exactly sure what will happen next. I think we all miss you, Sara. I know I do. I think it is hard for us to say out loud how much you meant to all of us.

When you left, I was angry. Angry with you for leaving. Angry with Grissom for not stopping you. Angry that you left without saying goodbye to anyone but Grissom. I hated being angry with you, Sara. I have nothing but respect for you, Sara. You and Nick are my best friends. Losing you was hard.

I have come to terms with my anger. I understand that Grissom knew that it was best to let you go. I also understand why you left without saying goodbye. I have a feeling that you would probably cried. I know that I would have hugged you and not wanted to let you go.

Sara, I really appreciate all that you have done for me. I consider you my angel. I just want you to be happy wherever you are. Not knowing if you are safe and happy is what hurts the most, I think. I worry about you. You really do care about the people around you. Despite all that you have seen, you still have a deep, compassionate side that I was lucky to see.

When I was beat up, my first real memory was you being there. I couldn't even see and I knew it was you. I was lying there on the ground. I remember how gently you touched me as you rubbed my head. I didn't want you to see me like that, but I am glad you came. I still remember your sweet words, "I came for you, Greg."

Sara, I would like to hear words like that again. I want you to come home. It's not the same without you.

Missing my dear friend,

Greg Sanders

Greg looked up and caught a glimpse of Catherine wiping away tears. He had tears too. Would the team ever be the same again?
