Each and every day I’m missing your joyous smile, your bright personality, and abundance of love with each day that passes.
I also miss your hugs and I don’t know what to do without you being here with me. Then, I see your beautiful smile that you left me with, telling me that you’ll always be here with me in spirit.
“Happy birthday.” From, Leah and family.

I thought of you today, but that’s nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, now all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part. God has you in His arms, I have you in my heart.
