Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas my angel! As you spend another Christmas with our Jesus, we all gather together and try to carry on the traditions the best we can. It will never be the same but we go on, as you would want us to.

We make new memories and I treasure both them and all the memories of the past years when you were here with us.

I miss you so much and today brings me one day closer to seeing you again.

My love forever,

Mom

5 Years of Pain

My Dear Son,

I sit here, just minutes away from another anniversary - the 5th since you left us. And no, it is not getting any easier. The pain is just as intense as it was that day 5 years ago.

I listen to your songs, look through the albums, read all the messages I have received from people over the last 5 years..........and the support and love help, but they don't take away any of the pain.

I know the pain will be with me until the day we are reunited. I cry when I need to and I smile when I can. I exist. But one day, that will all be over.

Until we meet again, I celebrate your life and hold onto to every precious memory!

With All My Love,

Mom
