I really wish I could have spent more time with you and it’s been really hard to let go of those memories. I have my family tell me stories about you but I don’t remember. I was just two when you passed and not a day goes by without thinking of you. Now you’re in heaven and watching over me. I love you so much and miss you love your son Jeremiah
