Hi baby. I still cant believe your gone. I love you so much and I cant stop thinking about you. I know you are in a good place now. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart. I'll never foget all the wonderful times we had, especially on the big island. I remember on my birthday you were so stubborn. Your hand was hurt and you were told to go to the hospital and you wouldnt go becuase you had dinner plans for me. You ended up in the hospital for a week!... You were the most caring devoted man a woman could ever want. You protected me and cared for me in a way no one ever had before. I remember you would take me to that special beach that we liked so much. We would spend hours talking about life and what our future would bring. I remember the last time I saw you in the dothan airport. I wouldnt leave you and you made me go outside so you wouldnt have to watch me watch you. I couldnt help it though, I peeked through the window into the terminal. You caught me watching you and you waved one last time... When I was feeling lonely you would call me every night to make sure I was OK. Now I have our dog Roxy and she comforts me whenever I start to cry.... I love you and miss you so much and I cant wait to be with you again. We will talk again for hours like we used to....

I still remember the very first time you returned home from training. I was the first to see you and I cried when I hugged you!! Do you still remember???? Well, I graduated from high school just as you'd wanted me to... Tryin my best to be just like you.
I thought you were going to come back to us. Mommy never stopped crying... because you left without saying goodbye!!
