It is hard to believe that you have been gone eight years. So much has happened that I wish you were here for. You would be super proud of Coner and you would adore Baby Hudson. We celebrated you last night over dinner and let balloons go to Heaven at your grave today. You are terribly missed & loved greatly.

I hope you know how much I loved you, but more importantly I hope you felt it. Some people go their whole lives without ever experiencing a love like ours...So I know I was lucky. Lucky to have felt a love so deep that I could go the rest of my life living on memories alone! I will love you forever.

You know how everyone says, "Time heals everything"...that is the farthest from the truth. I think you learn to live with the pain and with a broken heart. Thank you for loving me with your whole heart and showing me what true love really is. I miss you every second of the day...especially your HUGS! You always gave the best hugs. I love you Mikey!
