I dream about you often and in my dreams you look so beautiful. Sometimes you are how I remember you and sometimes you are younger. Sometimes you are even in your current form of an angel. The kids ask questions and I’ve told them about many good times I had with you and also funny times. I’m glad you got to spend time with Gabriella. Zachary is wild and rambunctious I’m not sure he would have been allowed in your house because of all you nick nacks hahaha. You would have loved them they are good kids. But you already know that because I know you’re watching. I miss you very much and I will always love you. Thank you for always loving me and being my best friend.
