Corey, its almost been a year that has pasted and I still can't believe that you're gone. Each day for me gets easier but I know that a part of me died along with you that day. There are days that my heart just aches for you.You know "C, in all actuality, we weren't suppose to end like this." I know that you carried a heavy burden for a longtime so I want you to rest now. I'll never forget you because there's a special place in my heart that no other man will ever fulfill.
Happy Birthday Monday! I'm coming to visit you this weekend.
Love always,
Your baby,
Tonya
