Hi Mom. So today marks one year since you were taken from us, and I have missed you everyday since then. When I think about you, I don't think about those last weeks when you were so very sick and so frail. I think about your funny sense of humor, your hearty laugh, and your round "Barlow Belly" (which I have apparently inherited - thanks). I miss our long phone conversations and I can't bring myself to delete the last voicemails you left me on my phone because its the only way I can hear your voice.Your kids miss you and your grandkids miss you too. Dad is doing ok, but he definitely misses you a lot. The grandkids have changed so much in the last year, but I assume you know that since you are all watching over us. Here's to hoping each year without you hurts less and less. I love you Mom. Kristi
