It has been just a little over a year my darling. I think of you daily. Every morning I say good morning to you. I know you are in a better place, and that our time will be extended when I join you. For now i take comfort in the song by Casting Crowns. "Scars in Heaven". 'The thing that makes me smile now even as the tears run down. There will be no such thing as broken. The thing that makes me smile now are that the only scars in heave are on the hands that hold you now." We will be together again my love. It is just a matter of time. In that time will do what I have learned is the thing that our Lord put me on this earth for. Like you will i will pray for those in need and continually lift my voice up to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Until we are together again my love, know that I think of you daily and love you more each day that passes.

In just a little over four months my love it will be a year since you left me and went home to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ my love. I think about you every day. I know you are better now and that you are celebrating with our Lord singing His praises and I will be with you when my time comes an we shall praise Him together. I love you and miss you, but I am fine. I remember the day we first met my darling and I keep that thought in my heart always. Just imagine that when I go home we will have eternity to worship and praise our Lord together. No diseases, no pain, Again I love my darling,
