Love and prayers are sent your way today! Your father was a quiet, but kind soul who I have great memories of as a friendly neighbour. He sampled a lot of my first attempts at baking, as I had to have someone brave enough to try my goods. Your family has been in my prayers throughout the years, because of those days of being neighbours. God be your comfort right now and in the difficult days ahead!

I don't know why i keep coming back here, I can't sleep knowing your still gone, I still remember when you'd say that lullaby "dear friend across the river" i always thought was stupid, I listen to it now, I should've spent the time I had as a child more with you, eight years is coming up and I feel worse each time I remember you, I'd like to visit grandma some time, I wish I still had that same excitement id have when I used to visit you and her, it's not the same anymore and I know it never will be, I don't know what happened to me when the news came, I'm different now, I wish you could see me, you will forever be my favorite person, and nothings going to change that.

Hi pupa, I got the name of the lullaby wrong, I got it mixed up with a show I was watching haha, im pretty sure it was something else, I’ll probably find it eventually, anyways, I just realized how corny and cringe I sounded reading that comment again.. not gonna go so well when I’m older reading this. Anyways, still miss ya and yadayada, mother just opened up an account for me, im uhh I don’t really know what to say lol, not used to talking or texting so much, im fourteen now. Nothing about me has really changed, im still the same old animal lovin addy loll, im sixteen soon ( two years is a short time okay) and I’ll probably move out, maybe, probably, I don’t know lmao. Just really want a space more to myself Yknow? Maybe an apartment, with two dogs or ALOT of animals!!! I need animals!! Ive been watching Steve Erwin a lot lately, guy deserved to live longer, like you. And the other dozen who are gone too. Uhh anyways, yeah, love ya lots, bye.
