Hi Little Sister. It's your Birthday and I miss you!!! Everybody does!!! Talked to mom and dad about you today, they are still so sad. Hope Mike is taking good care of you up there. I guess Linda will be writing later on today...I always look forward to her entries. Love you.

October 1, 2013

Hi Honey,
Wow time flies, Just keeps going faster and faster. Sorry didn't get back sooner. Just so happens and kept wanting to and just didn't. But never stop thinking about you. Never stop thinking what it would be like now if you were here always. I know I probably be a lot happier if you were.
I wouldnt miss the the close friendship that had and never found again.Tried but just never found yet anyway, That's a long time too. Sometimes had a few that was a little , but never the same.Guess when get older just the way it is.Pretty much everything set in stone by a certain age.Then the rest you just drift. Well if not ,well then I am anyway.I think they change this is also and having hard time to write in this very small box. Cant see nothing Im writing . Like really wow as if they dont want you to write much so annoying . So Hope they change it back or it is just messed up. So on that note I love you always , never stop thinking about you ! Love you xoxoxoxooxxo

Hi
Wow ,Time just slips by faster and faster anymore. Just hard to keep up with it..Feels like in a speed warp with time and losing. The more you try the faster it seems to go. Like a roller coaster. But even saying all that. Have never or ever will stop thinking about you. May miss some time since the older you get guess the slower you get. And that's why just seems to fly by I guess. And all that and sad part not that much exciting since. Oh well just drifting I guess. I miss all of you so much and the memories of so long ago seems now. Keep trying to look for good times but really hard to find anymore. But do appreciate every second to get to enjoy one. And every nano second anymore since seems happy comes and goes so fast before something yanks it away. Anyway, Love Ya's oxoxoox ,Miss Ya's
