Seven years have passed it feels like forever, The twins and I were going through photos and found the one from Easter of you playing cards with them they still remember that day. I miss getting up in the middle of the night to give you a lemon drop, our walks outside or on the porch with you wearing my sunglasses my birthdays at night singing happy birthday to me and you not wanting to go to bed until you finished watching dancing with the stars well I hope youre up there still dancing
