Today is my 24th birthday, and my 1st birthday without you. I never thought that it would be this hard. i never thought it would be this at all. i always looked at it, like it was just another obstacle in our journey through life but one that i knew that you could cross and get over with so much strength in pride. i never realized it would take you in the blink of an eye. i will try my hardest to enjoy today without you, because when you died so did the family. no one gets together anymore. all i have is david and daddy. mommy i wish i could pull you back from heaven and back into reality forever. just as long as it is without all the pain and suffering. i love you mommy, yesterday, today, tomorrow...always...
