Happy 10th Birthday Christine...

...giant sigh...

Cutie, I know you are near today...we saw the cardinal and yellow finch this a.m. - Lauren was all over that, we found the pennies all day today, we heard the songs we call yours...we simply feel your presence...thank you.

BUT, we miss you like hell...the pain of today is overwhelming at times...

.... sigh ....

This time of year/this week is always hard for me…well, at least for the last 6 years it has been. So much reflection…the what if’s etc. It’s my birthday, Father’s Day and then Christine’s birthday all w/in 6 days… so it saddens me each year that we’re not having a party at the house for Christine this w/e…just thinking about it now brings me to tears… I know some can relate to the feeling…but these 3 days put together each year is a real burden....sigh!!!!
