It's been so very long but I still think of you at least once a day.  I bought a house and wish you could be here to see it! I think you'd love the fireplace and the kitchen has room to cook, too. You've missed so much but not as much as we've missed you... There have been additions to the family with more on the horizon.  You'd get a kick out of your youngest nephew Thomas (he's an intelligent little dude and he makes me feel so dumb with the things he knows and says).  We're all still taking life one day at a time (some days good and some days not so good) and I want you to know that whenever there is a gathering of any kind, we somehow always mention you!  We all miss you (especially me) and love you so so much... It's been especially bittersweet for me now because I'm packing for the move and every time I pick up a photo of you or some little collectable it brings back a flood of memories... I know I made a deal with you after you left us and I know I'll never get another one of your smiles or a hug but I'd like to ask for an amendment...please send me a dream or a song or a message! 

I'll end this rant but remember that you are now and will forever be in my heart💓.
