There hasn't been a day yet that you havnt been on my mind Heath. Both you and your dad have been the first thoughts in my mind when I open my eyes & again before I close them at night. I wish I would have been able to keep you closer to me way more often than I was able to. I would give anything for another chance to try harder to protect you like your dad had ask me to.I feel like I failed you in a way & I pray that you knew how much I cared about you. I miss you buddy more than I ever thought possible. I will remember you for all of the wonderful things that made you Heath & for now I will continue to pray for your family & I promise to be there for your dad through every single moment of this loss.
