Happy Birthday Nana. I'm gonna go see PopPop today with Garner. I miss you and I love you. I really wish you were here to see me in my first movie. I did it Nana. I said I would and you believed I would. You, no matter what others said, always believed in me and I am trying to make you proud. Garner is getting so big. Justin misses you too. I wish God didn't take you from us so soon. I have so much to tell you, but I will save all of that when we meet again.

I LOVE YOU

Mom,
I wish I called and visited you more there was always something to do. I thought I would have more time with you. You taught me lessons for for life and mostly everything you said was right. When I was young I thought you had no idea what you were talking about as I aged I realized you are one of the most intelligent people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I tell people all the time that I couldn't ask for better parents. You taught me right from wrong, compassion and most important unconditional love. I pray that I can be half the parent you were to me to my daughter. I love you and that will never change. I just wish I could have spent more time with you before you got sick. That will always haunt me. Kelly is doing a great job of stepping into your shoes I know it is hard for her but she is doing it with grace and dignity. She is taking very good care of Daddy and without complaint. You are the best and there is not a day that goes by you are not in my thoughts and prayers. One day we will me again for now I have to settle for memories and dreams. Until we meet again I LOVE YOU FOREVER.
