I didn't call Jay by 10AM Mom...whose he kidding, he isn't up at that hour...lol, but I emailed him by 10:30. I am so proud of him Mom, it took him a long time and I know now how hard it was for him to finally talk to you. Your birthday IS going to be hard Mom...on everyone, we miss you so incredibly much. You were the heart of us all Mom, we all revolved around you...you were our 'Queen' and living without you Mom...well we are all finding it hard. BUT, we do go on...because we KNOW that is what YOU would want us to do. I was so moved by what Jarrod wrote I brought Beanie in here to read it. She of course cried, she's never been able to see the pictures or hear the songs on your web page Mom, so with all that, and reading what Jarrod wrote, she hugged me and said she hoped when she passed away we would remember her like we remember you. I told her 'of course we will, but to not plan on leaving us ANY TIME SOON!!! I told her that seat up there...the one she told you to save, well I told her it wasn't ready yet! I love you Mom, the kids are all doing fine. Shelley and her kids are all coming down tomorrow. We will celebrate your birthday on Sunday and we will all go to the cemetery for the first time this year. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM!!! Jarrod is so right, I do miss you like crazy and I love you more than anything!!! Losing you was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to face!!! ((((((HUGS)))))) ******KISSES*******
