It’s been nine long years since you said goodbye. In that nine years not a single day has passed that I didn’t miss you. Everything about you; your smile, your laugh(or the way you snorted when you got to laughing too hard lol), your random calls EVERY single holiday to wish me a happy holiday and to tell me you love me, I miss our talks and so many things I now see I could never list it all here. I’m beginning to think I’ll never have a friend again who loves me like you did. I thank God for every minute he let me have you but I also grieve you daily along with all the things you should have been here with me to do like watch your kids marry and have kids and so many other things. We had plans unfinished… like our rest home plans. I promise in your honor to follow thru when the time comes😉! I wish I could see you and hug you just one more time! I love and miss you dearly! Love your dear friend, Tina
