Good morning My Birdy, It's pouring rain, this is one of the very many days that missing you intensifies. I miss our rainy days together, cuddled on the couch, with a blanket, Hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, or maybe I should say mini marshmallows with a little hot chocolate, as that would be more accurate. We watched some good movies, classic cartoons, and of course our scary movies/shows were always Epic! I miss you more than ever, I so look forward to being with you again! I love you with all my heart and soul My Birdy, For All Eternity! ❤️

Hi My Birdy, on my way home from a twelve hour shift, I'm so tired I'm fighting like crazy to stay awake. Who knows where I might end up if I fall asleep! I truly wish I could call you, I really miss our late night, early morning phone calls, I miss more than you can imagine hearing your voice, and how you would say Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama so many times I would lose count. What I wouldn't give to hear you do that again, especially when you would end with, I love you Mama! I wish more than anything, that your Dad and I where with you already! ❤️ We love and miss you more than you know. Good night My Birdy, with all the love in my heart, see you in my dreams! ❤️
