I am 9 days late of saying Happy 39th birthday son. The years without you has been so hard but God continue to strengthen and carry me. You would be so proud of you son he looks just like you and that makes my heart smile. The years pass but I am still stuck at that last smile and kiss on the cheek with you saying I love you mom. Continue to watch over us until we meet again. You mother
