Not a day goes by that you are not on my mind and weighing on my heart. I miss you so dearly. I listen to your voicemails as its all I have left to be able to hear your voice. I would give anything to hear in person or sit with you even if for 10 minutes. Or even U dream I dreamed all night of being on the farm feeding and working and working on the mustang. I didnt get enough time with you and it isnt fair. I love you so much and miss you more then words could express!!!!!!!
