Hi Buddy,
Another milestone is here and it breaks my heart that I can not share it with you. Senior pictures.....your friends are posting theirs and all I want is for you to have yours. I miss you and miss the special moments we dont get to share.
I love you!
I also need you to watch over your friend Kelsey. She needs an angel and you are the best!!
Love forever,
Momma
