Its been almost 4 years since you passed. Almost everyday I come here to read memories about you. I know who watched go to middle school, first middle school dance, first big fight, first day of high school, and first Homecoming. I wish you were here to witness these in person. But, it was time for you to go. Im almost 10th grade now. Bubba will start Kindergarten soon. Eagles won a super bowl. A lot has changed in these 4 years. Can't wait to see up in heaven someday.
Love, your favorite freckle faced red head
