I miss you because...

Adilyn started crawling this week.  I took a video, I wanted to show you.

Bailey turned 5 this month.  Overnight, she really changed.  She now refers to everything she wants as "I'm 5 now, I can do it."  She tells me funny stories EVERY day.  I wish I could tell you.

Mom is sad, Sheri is sad, Monica is sad.  We're all really sad.  If you were here, we wouldn't be sad.

You used to send me text messages that sometimes didn't even make sense. But I loved them.

You prayed for me, with me, for my family.

You told me I was your favorite.  I know you told Sheri and Monica too, but still, you told me.

Your marriage was rocky, for 30 years!  The last 2 were wonderful. It's not fair.

I don't know how to grieve.  I don't know what to say to people when they ask how I'm doing.  Because, I really don't know how I'm doing.

I miss you because...

I love you still!  We shouldn't have to lose people we love.
