Hello my oldest son,I am sitting here on my lunch break at Target on a Sunday afternoon missing your beautiful big smile .There is not a day that goes by that you are not heavily on my mind.I know everyone says times heals the pain but it's a hard one even though I truly believe you are with God smiling down at our every move.
