Your birthday was this week. I still miss you. Life has been terrible since June and I’ve needed you here to talk to and vent. I just miss you so much. My life is so empty without you. I know you’re pain free and that brings me so comfort. But my pain is still so deep. One day we’ll be together. I love you. 

Another birthday, another year. Happy birthday, Betsy. It’s that time of year when I miss you the most. Christmas time. I hope you’re watching over us. I miss you so much. It still hurts. You never heal from the grief. You just learn to go on. Until we’re reunited, love and miss you.

The pain never goes away. I miss you more than I ever have. I still cry tears for you. I wish you were here to to chat and hear you say your funny comments. We’ll be together one day, but until then, I love you and miss you so much.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Wow. Seven years -- sometimes feels like yesterday, other days, it feels like forever. I missed making Christmas cookies this past Christmas. Rachel wanted to, but time just got away from me. Nattie and I did get together with her and her new sweetie for her birthday. We had ice cream! I wish you could have been there. 
And oh, how I wish you could see your great niece, Evie. She is so beautiful. You would love her to pieces. 
Just know I think of you daily. 
Hey, I quit smoking two weeks and two days ago. I know it's not long, but I've never felt more confident about quitting as I do this time. 
Love and miss you always!

I miss you so much, mommy. Every single day I wish you were here to see Canaan. I keep waiting for it to get easier, but every day is still hard. I wish I could hug you and tell you I love you

I miss you mommy and I will see you again someday when my work is through. I hope you can see us from wherever you are. I love you and I'm sorry I didn't tell you that more often
