Thinking of you on this Special Day!

Happy Anniversary!  I can't believe how time has gone by so fast!  I think of you every day!
I feel so blessed to be able to have been your Mom for also 23 years on this earth!   You left behind
 such a wonderful blessings....your son, Myles!   I am so glad that you and Casey decided to have
a child!  It is so hard each day to continue on but your Son makes it worth while! 

I wish you could see all your nephews and your soon nephew or niece, baby Gates.  Jenny
and Mike are about to have their first Child.   I can't wait to have another grand baby!!
You would be proud of your sisters.  Christine has the last of this semester to go of nursing
school to be an RN.  Jenny is 2 days over due of baby Gates entering this world and then
she is back to school to finish her RN too!  Nate is working full time and working 60 to 70
hours a week!  He just got his first truck!  Maybe we will have to make the same deal
with him about plowing our driveway if we help buy him a plow!?!?!?!

All and all we are continuing on with our lives but with a whole in our hearts.  We all
know that you want us to go on and live our lives but some days are harder than the next.
This happens to be on the list of hard days!  Celebrating your anniversary with Casey was
suppose to be but it isn't!  I understand that God has a plan.  You told me so many times.
I do believe that and understand about God's plan but still  my heart is aching for my child that is now
in heaven!

I love you Matt!  I miss you every day!  Your wife and son are doing just fine!  You would be proud!

Love you!
You are always on my mind and in my heart!

Love
MOM
