It seems like just yesterday you were here. I can't believe that you're really gone. I hoped it was some crazy dream I just needed to wake up from. Know it's been a whole year that you're not here and I miss u so much all the time. BUT I know you're in a better place now you're with our father GOD and that helps me make it through the days and nights. LOVE YOU ALWAYS
