It has been a little over a year since you passed away and left me here – longing for you every day. I can’t forget you — your memory follows me everywhere. Though I’m a little better, I miss you very, very much.
I pray for you in church, not so much for me — I have had a hard time being as devoted to our faith as when we were here on Earth together.
Adrienne is OK — she misses you very much and we’re struggling to live with the memory of what happened and losing you.
Last Friday would have been our 22nd. We almost made it to 21. Remember me in heaven. I can’t wait to be with you again.
