This time of year will always be hard. I can't help going back to 2006 (Three years ago). I remember this day (in 2006) like it was yesterday. I remember going shopping and going to dinner with you. I remember dropping you and your mom off at home and you walked up over the hill. That was the last time I saw you. I don't think we'll ever truly get over the loss. We all go on with our lives each day, and wonder how differently they would be if you were still here. I can't say that enough. I wish you were here to play with the kids and celebrate birthdays. Instead we mourn the anniversary of your parting from our family. You will be forever missed and loved.
