I'm glad you finally have your favorite fuzzball, Daisy, with you again for your birthday. I remember how happy you were to see her when I brought her to visit you at the hospital. I could always tell when she was missing you. Knowing she was on her way to see you made it a little easier to let her go.I really wish I could put up all of our Halloween decorations again but there's always something missing.You're always in my heart. Visit me soon. XOXOXO

Some days I'm able to do things that I don't think I'm strong enough to do, and then there's days like today, where I completely fall apart all over again. I hope you know how much you mean to me and always will.

Happy Birthday... I still remember your reaction to the first birthday gift I ever gave you. That was one of my favorite days and I'll remember it forever. Thank you for the gifts lately, they mean more than you could ever know. Before you left someone told you that we'd be ok... I'm still not ok but I hope you know that I'm trying. Love you more!

I've been waiting since the very second it was your birthday for your birthday message to post... Hope you know I didn't forget about you. Like every other day, Halloween will never be the same. I hope you loved your presents. Happy Birthday Hunni! One day we can celebrate all of our birthdays together again. Until then someone is going to have to figure out how to top our trip to Toys R Us. No matter what, we'll always be stuck with each other! Love you and miss you more than any being could ever understand... Huggles and kissies :)

For 6 years and 2 months, all of my days started and ended with you. They still do. Only now I can't stand being awake, but I hate going to sleep... Cause every time I wake up, you're not there to tell me it was all just a nightmare. MISSING YOU FOREVER AND LOVING YOU ALWAYS...
