Hey Baby,
I’ve been trying and trying to find my words for you but my heart just wasn’t ready to release them.
Your Darlin, Babin and the many other names you had for me (🥰) misses you so dearly ❤️.
My heart still aches today for you and it always and forever will.
We have made so many memories together that I will NEVER forget any of them.
I will miss all of the traveling with you. You got me to live in SC where I’ve always wanted to be but even though it was short lived… WE had the time of our lives!!!
I think the most fun we had though was in NJ. Even though you told me you didn’t want to go back there… 🤣🤣
We still had many years ahead of us Baby…..
My Love for you is neverending….
I hope you are doing the things you loved most: Fishing and Drumming
Beat the hell out of those drums… I need to hear you play them…
You and Tom stay out of trouble there..🤣
I Love You Baby 😘😘
Until we meet again❤️❤️❤️
****Our Grandson Carson … I’m going to take him fishing one day and tell him all about our fishing trips. ❤️❤️❤️
