Tomorrows easter and even tho your not here, you'll forever be in our hearts and minds. I met a really great guy that ive known for almost a year now, i wish you could meet him, you would love him. We've visited you quite a few times since you left but i cant ever get out of the car to sit with you because it doesnt feel right, but we will visit again on your birthday which is coming up in a few months, so heres a happy early 90th birthday i love you so much. You've always been here for me, you were my bestfriend and always made all my days brighter, you made me believe theres always something better, something to look foward too. now i dont believe much in the whole heaven thing, but wherever you are up there i hope your doing good and that your happy and comfortable. i know that your looking down on us, and i want you to know that you were like the glue to our family, you made us whole, and its never gonna be the same without you.
