I wonder if the person that found the letter has already found his true love or is still looking for it.

I always appreciate my lover, but I am going to kiss him extra lovingly and hug him extra tight today... :(
RedAce1992
After a tough Saturday. This is exactly what I needed to see. May Mr. Kraus rest in peace.

Saddest and most beautiful thing I've ever read. :'(
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
FUCK. The "almost" Katy Kraus. I guess I'm weeping at work today :'(

Katy is the most giving and kindest person I know. She deserved to be happy!! Thank you everyone for your kind words!
monkeybrainz
I'm a 22 year old male, on my lunch break at work, and now I'm crying. That was heartbreaking and beautiful.
thespottedbunny
In a few weeks, I'll be scouting Mayan ruins on MY honeymoon. Want to snuggle fiance extra tight right now.
Katiefp241981
I think Katy would be happy to hear that :)
trgo2137
Hope she stays positive. Sounds like a sweetheart.
Katiefp241981
She is an amazing human being! Proud to call her a friend!
Elektr0ns
Brutally beautiful... Love.
OctopussSevenTwo
I don't think 'feels' was the type of trip they had in mind when they took this vacation.
chrisned40
This is 100% true. I am Katys brother and I was a pallbearer at his funeral. His name was Russell Leo Kraus 3rd or Tre for short.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
I'm sorry for Katy's loss. Seems like Tre was a great man. Her note was powerful and is a testament to her faith and their love. I haven't
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
The power and love of the internet has now funded the tombstone goal 100%. I'd be awesome of you could post and update once it is bought?
chrisned40
I definitely will, I am going to visit her this weekend.
whywasmyusernametakengrrrr
Random mode here curious to see if there was ever an update
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
Awesome. Also...you just made an imgur account. Post some more comments my friend. Join us. We'd love to have you.

Ok..

Stopped thinking about it since yesterday. Her persepctive is incredible given the circumstances. I hope she finds peace. Love to you.
thebluestthingsonearth
Was fine until that 'almost' came along and kicked my feels right in the dick.
kyrieolsen
"The almost Katy Kraus"... Must have been the hardest thing she's ever had to write.
BrassyK
That got me. That's when the tears came.
thegreatgatsB
That hurt and I did not know Katy. Poor lady.
doihearanamen
As a man who's never really considered the significance of changing a name,I can't even imagine. But her hope is absolutely stunning.
uberarticuno
I'm not crying. You're crying. "the almost Katy Kraus" might have fucking ruined me...
hotrodlady
So I got curious as to how he passed away cause I'm that type of horrible person and found this. https://www.gofundme.com/na4e2nuv
CassiopeiaGames
the money was raised, and 6 hours ago, there was an update. :)
Dracon27
holy crap, someone just donated $1,000!! good on them!

I retract my earlier comment, I just saw the location and immediately assumed, my bad.

aserenitatum
This should be top comment!
hotrodlady
I posted it in the comments but felt no one would see it so I put it here (sorry top comment)
slothen2
That doesn't answer how he passed away.
hotrodlady
Well i didn't find it, and it doesn't matter enough for me go all out detective. i feel shitty evwen looking into it anyway
hotrodlady
goddamnit I hit enter before I was ready, hello spelling fuckups.
CassiopeiaGames
the gofundme page mention he passed in the night so I guess he died because either a heart attack or from sleep apnoea
alandryrn
Does it matter? He had medical problems.
slothen2
did he? That would be something but we don't know that either.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
I love how I'm dowvoted by those who do not know God. Your lack of knowing her does not make my relationship invalid...but downvote away.
IndAldre
Pretty sure your arrogance isn't helping either. Assuming only nonbelievers would down vote you is also hilarious.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
I've been around this site for 4 years...God is always downvoted around here. It's a fact
mehmehmehh
God just doesn't exist
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
For you...sure...but there are plenty who know her. Your statement is arrogant and selfish
BipolarChris
I believe it's just that people do not come to Imgur to read about people preaching their faith
Reisgar42
People are down voting you because you're taking an important personal moment for someone else and talking about yourself.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
I pointed out she was a woman of faith but I see your point and it is fair
ChinchillaTheHunn
k
DebonairRaichu
Here's a good rule of thumb. If I didn't ask you about your relationship with God, I don't want to hear about your relationship with God.
DebonairRaichu
I didn't downvote because I think your relationship, or her relationship is invalid. But because I don't come to imgur to discuss religion.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
Fair enough but I didn't ask you to discuss anything. Do you not want to SEE it discussed? That's completely different
DebonairRaichu
What?? No. I don't want it to see it discussed either.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
Look below her signature. She is a woman of faith. It has no double comforted her in this time. I feel the same way about God. God is love.
flatdeer
Hear, hear.
fuckyeahimcanadian
"God" kills someone =/= god is love
Darkspire
If God had struck him down I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned in the note..
margaretolson
Hey man, I don't believe in god at all, but her faith helped her get through a terrible loss. Why crap all over it?
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
God doesn't kill. People kill. We have free will. That's a big part of it my friend. We are free to think and do as we please
IDontUnderstandWhyImgurNamesAreSoLongAllTheTime
God killed like 2.8million people in the bible
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
The bible is not a literal interpretation of history and those who think that are misguided at best.

4D paper; can flip it over twice and not see the same content. Neat.

Perfect.
hotrodlady
There's a gofundme for his tombstone if anyone is interested in donating. I hope ppl see this.
twistedkisses
All I have to give is my upvote but hopefully, it'll help somebody richer see it and donate.

Hey, go fund my buddies tombstone, he doesn't know he needs it yet, but my soon to be ex wife is freaking out

spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
It's fully funded. Imgur makes me happy sometimes. Love is a powerful emotion indeed. Thanks for posting the link my friend :)
Mekanismen
That Imgur and Reddit love. I'm crying.
yetiburglar
she went on a cruise and cant afford a tombstone?
rudejohn
I'm with you. His untimely death is tragic, but why should the general public fund his tombstone?
rudejohn
Untimely deaths have been a burden on families forever, yet it's fashionable to ask for financial help for burial; seems tasteless to me.
BillMurraySaidICould
It's not like you have to donate anything, you judgmental jerks! Friends often want to help the family, and so what if they ask the public?!
MetilHed
And he died 6 months ago. Even if it was pre booked and all of that, as suggested, certainly they could save some $$$ in the last 6 months?
OmgPleaseSendCoffeeASAP
Chances are the cruise was already booked if it was a few weeks before the wedding. Mine was booked months and months before
ivegotnothin
Not sure if it's bad form but I found his obituary. It's real.
alandryrn
This is VERY real! Katy is a dear friend of mine. This letter is an expression of her beautiful soul. I am so proud of you Katy!.

WeAllLiveInAUserSubmarine
I'm from the other half of Imgur, y'know, the guys who say "jump, feggit"
TheBeastRabban
No.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
I'd like to meet this woman as her perspective on the world is unique. Many people would be lost in anger to take the trip or write this.
uberarticuno
I don't think I'd be able to. I don't think I'd even be able to leave my room.
Niphanos
I... kinda skipped to the end expecting a John Cena.
Rengii
I kind of stopped at the 'pray continuously' part honestly. I'm sure its a lovely letter though.
spiritualbeingonahumanjourney
So open minded of you. People have very real relationships with powers greater than us and your lack of faith doesn't invalidate that.
Rengii
I have a very real relationship with my right hand. I don't feel the need to preach to others about it though.
WhyShouldILoveYou
Am I the only one around here who thought it wasn't that special. Felt like I've read tens if not hundreds of these.
WhyShouldILoveYou
If not written one or two of the same myself...
assumtionscreateproblems
Wait you've lost 3 SO's right before you got married?
WhyShouldILoveYou
No, but "life is a gift, dont waste it, motherfucking hope" blah blah feels like something I've written myself a lot of times.
alandryrn
It would be special you knew her and you knew the heartache she has inured. It took a lot of courage and strength to do this.
WhyShouldILoveYou
You know what, fuck you for assuming you know what I've been through in my life.
