Babyboy … Yesterday would’ve been your second christmas…. I can’t help but wonder where your mother and I would be now … If you’d been here with us ..
would we have that apartment we stuffed with all the things for you ,where you would have endlessly roamed and has begun your tiny little life… Would we have found the perfect little home to raise you in by now….. I bombard myself with these kinds of questions every single day bubba. Mom does too… She’s kind of changing on me and I’m doing my very best to keep up I promise! Haha I’ll never let your momma go buddy..we need you to keep a close eye on us more than before these days are double the struggle… Tell you what. We both would rather be up 4x a night putting you back to bed every night for this whole time… With work in the am !! And pretty much just about whatever you’d possibly need to be healthy and happy. We would definitely have done it with pride.
Son, guide us. With Gods help. Tell him to take a few upcoming demons out for us too, since youre right up there with him and all ! Love you sooooo much ,
Dad. (+Mom she loves and misses you too)
