I always dread the month of September. It is a hard reminder of another year you are not here with us. Your son graduated this year. I know you were beaming with pride as we were. It’s the big moments and the little things as well that tug at our hearts. We miss you so much. They say life moves on. I guess it does, but there is always an empty spot that can’t be filled. You send me reminders that you are with us... a butterfly will come visit and I feel your presence. I remember someone gave me a book on stages of grief. I opened it and read the first page, then skipped to the last because I wanted all the pain to be over, but it never goes away. But we hold onto the hope and faith of a meeting again. So until then, we all love you and miss you so much.
