I think of you daily, fond memories of our short life together bring tears to my eyes. I speak to you often to only have you reassure me that you would not have changed a thing, that you were ready to say goodbye to be with our Heavenly Father.
I feel your presence with me everyday as you watch over me and keep me safe. You are truly a patriot and hero. I love you and miss you so much.
