Happy Birthday Angie,

I'm sorry I haven't said something sooner, but I haven't been able to find the right words to say until now.  I just want to start off by saying thank you for everything you've done for me.  I will never be able to repay you or the girls.  You changed my life in so many ways and I will never forget the time, memories, and experiences we shared.  You were always there for me when I needed you and loved me for who I am despite my flaws.

There's not a minute in each day since you've left us that I don't think of you or am reminded of you in some way.  Looking back, I only wish I could have done more for you.  There were many opportunities and I was foolish in thinking there would always be more time.   I made many mistakes with our friendship and I took a lot for granted.  I wish I could go back in time and make it right, but unfortunately I can't.

I still remember our last conversation we had the night before you left for the Philippines like it was yesterday.  You only asked me to promise you one thing and that was to watch over and take care of the girls.  It's not going to be easy, but I will keep that promise to you until we meet again someday.  I know you're watching over all of us and I hope you continue to because we can never be as strong as you were in life.

I miss you so much and I will love you always.  Take care Angie.

Yours forever,
Brandon
