I wish I could take your pain away. I was suppose to meet your father Thanksgiving Day & didn't get the chance because of his passing. I met your Mom the night of your fathers passing. I knew only you & Mike. It was a very awkward situation. You didn't introduce me to your Mom because you were not thinking clearly. While holding you, your Mom walked up to me & introduced herself & made me feel very welcome & comfortable. I only knew your Mom a short time but fell in love with her spirit. I wish her & my boys could have met. It just proves that you should never put things off & make sure you tell your loved ones how much you love & appreciate them.
