Everyday it seems harder without you! I have been strong up till this point and I plan on keeping up that level of strength at least for your sake. I really, really, really miss you. The love we shared will forever reside in my heart for there will never be another like you. Except me of course =) Don't worry about what's going on here, everything will just fine in due time. D.A.D. wants you to know they love you dearly! Until next time love ...
