Mommy,
It’s so hard to believe that just 3 weeks and 4 days ago you were here with me at the store
Shopping with the kids all happy and smiling, and now you’re GONE!..GONE!! :-( Like, WTH!?! This isn’t real...This can’t be happening... No, Not yet because we still had much to do. I was hoping this was all just a horrible nightmare just waiting to be awoken from but Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Though this pain is unbearable and hard to manage at times, I’ll be okay because...
