Hi hey hello!!!
Thinking of you, another month down can't believe sometimes how life just continues to go on.
Talk of you often, kids talk about you too. I know they help keep your memory alive and love fills my broken heart.
I tell them, Uncle Sean is in a better place. It's not that you being gone is better, just your free. Free of any aches pains sadness loneliness all the craziness of just life. I'd rather you be here, but my hope is you are healthy happy and surrounded by love!
I love you dearly miss you always!!

Today marks one year since I last saw your face. Today is another milestone I'm going thru. I am not alone, yet I speak for myself I miss you Bro! I miss the way you'd answer the phone, the way you did or didn't wanna talk when I called. The times when I'd have to force you to come over or go to the park with me and the kids. I miss making pasta salad and having cheesecake for you on Thanksgiving. I miss talking to you and you demanding to go to McDonalds for a double no mustard. I miss yelling at you for being a bumlet for making such a mess. I miss YOU! Those are the memories I choose to celebrate today Sean! My wish is you are free of any pain! I hope your having a heck of a jam session and just living it up. Love you forever!! One sweet day, I will see your face!!!

What does it look like in Heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Has your fears and your pain gone away?
Here on Earth it feels like everything,
good is missing, since you left,
and here on Earth everything's different,
there's an emptiness.
I hope you're dancing in the sky,
And I hope you're singing, in the Angels choir,
I hope the Angels know what they have,
I bet it's so nice, up in Heaven since you arrived.
Now tell me what do you do up in Heaven?
Are you days filled with love and light?
Is there music? Is there art and invention?
Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive?
Coz here on Earth, it feels like everything,
good is missing, since you left,
and here on Earth everything's different,
there's an emptiness.
I hope you're dancing in the sky,
and I hope you're singing, in the Angels choir,
I hope the Angels know what they have,
I bet it's so nice, up in Heaven since you arrived,
since you arrived.
I heard this and its so fitting! Love you!
