Richie,I wish you were here right now. I'm turning 30 and with the good and the bad- I need you. I can't think of how many times I wish you were around. Without you I feel alone in this world, I have Mommy, Daddy, Chrissy and Mike but it doesn't help. I wish you could see how well I'm doing and at the same time I wish you could be here when I'm at my absolute worst. All I have is the grave and a website-it does no justice. This pain is unbearable and no one understands exactly how it is for you and I. I will never stop thinking about you until we meet again. I love you "Itchie".
