As the day gets closer the tears seem to get more frequent, Its been almost five years since you've been gone and not a day goes by that I am not heartbroken by the absence of your presence. I miss you and will forever love you. I see the pain in the family's eyes and its hard to keep pushing at times, but we know you are watching over us. Sometimes I smile while feeling your presence. Missing the laughs, the "big ole Mexican plates", the 7am phone calls, most of all I miss your infectious smile, positive attitude, and your welcoming nature. The world lost a beautiful soul the day you left us, but we gained a beautiful angel. Love you Easter Bunny.
