It is very hard to believe it has been 18 years on the 27th that you left your earthly life.  

I hardly have a vocabulary that describes what I feel about this statement.  You were so very full of life one minute and then gone the next. 

I'm closer to seeing you again and that brings my heart joy.  

I wish it had been different.

I have so much I would like to tell you.  I'm sure you have so much to tell me too.

A toast to you sweet girl.  My heart is missing you so.

I miss being in Italy.  

I can still feel your arms around my neck and hear you breathing and laughing.  Such a good laugh.
