It's your first anniversary in heaven baby, & I miss you more than ever.
So much has happened over this last year, & everytime something of significance happens, I always find myself wishing I could call you & talk to you about it. Jimmy has put on a bunch of weight since you've been gone; has'nt grown an inch in height, but he weighs over 200 lbs. Can you imagine? That little shirttail kid you raised...imagine.
That discovery I made in the storage room right after BR? I wanted to tell you about it so bad; you would have freaked out. Then again, maybe not as much as I did; you did have a tendency to react differently to things that would rattle most people. This is after all, the same person who actually liked snakes.
Wish you could have seen Shanti at graduation; he was really fidgety up on the stage with his new owner, the same stage where one year earlier he sat just as quiet as you please with you right beside him. He is such a beautiful boy.
Camp was bittersweet this year; fun times were had, but it was'nt the same. Thank you for the special friend you sent to hang out with me there so it would'nt be so lonesome...she told me she felt like you had sent her & I believe that.
I've met lots of new folks this past year, & I've told them all about you. They all tell me you must have been special, & I'm like, gee, you think so? *g*
Grandma fell & fractured her hip back in the spring & spent three months in rehab & is now in a wheelchair. After she came home, we had a ramp & sidewalk built coming off the sunporch. The whole time I was wishing we could have had that done while you were here to have enjoyed it.
Smudge is such a good girl as always; I know she misses you.
Just like her daddy.
Sleep peacefully honey, I love you. I hope you knew that.
