April 22

A year ago today, we laid your body to rest.   I got to look at you and touch your face one last time.   I fixed your shirt and made sure you had your favorite pillow.   I kept your favorite blanket for me.    We left you with notes from your friends and a few army men.   Also a bear that Thomas and Allison put their pictures and notes in.    We said goodbye then had to leave you at the cemetery.   I visit you often.   I don't know if you know or not.   I try to keep your vase decorated in things I think you would have enjoyed.    I know you aren't in that cemetery, but it's the closest thing I have to "visiting" you.   My birthday will come again tomorrow.....it isn't the same without you.    It's hard to celebrate with someone so important missing.    Love you so much sweet boy.
