Sweetheart, Almost a dozen years, they went by so quickly. If I had only known it would be our last kiss goodbye, I would have kept you with me. Now it hurts so badly, I can barely breathe. Our son keeps calling Da Da, what do I tell him? I will bring your second child into this world without you. My heart, my love, my life, my best friend, and my soul mate. How will I raise these babies without you, how do I go on? I still need you so much.
Your devoted wife, always and forever. Stacy
