Thought we had more time,I thought wrong.this is the heavyiest my heart has ever felt my entire 51yrs on this earth.to think of you not being at that little house or on this earth with us makes my heart break every day.I made a choice a long time ago,now I have to live with the ramifications of not being able to fix things(time has run out) I pray that one day I will be aloud to go up there with you and start from scratch. I will be thinking of you every day until then... God bless you mom.i am so so sorry! Until then
