You've only been gone a few days, but knowing I will not hear you call me kid o breaks my heart. You are going to be so missed. Guess we just didn't get to tell you often enough how very much you and Merle meant to us. Then one day we wake up and its to late, for that I am so sorry. But I hope you realized just how much we did love you and cared.
