Missing you so so much... more then words can possibly be said...it's only been a few days but already feels like a life time. People may say it gets easier but as of right now it just seems to be getting harder. But I know in my heart you and daddy are happy to be back together again. (laughing and dancing away) and you having no more pain. Thank you for always being there for me. I was so blessed to have you as my mother.
