Here we are again...another year, another anniversary...not one for celebrating tho. 14 years Billy...14. So much has changed in those 14 years and yet a part of me is still back there on Nov 18, 1997. It's like that part of me never moved forward without you. Part of me died that day too.

Mama died, and I truly hope you were there for her when she arrived. My health has not been the greatest, but I fight anyways....I can't leave yet I know! I have my husband that you sent to me to take care of and of course, our children.

Life has been so different without you. I so often think, where would we be today? What would our lives have been like? I miss you. We were two kids growing up together and despite all the bumps in the road on the way, we finally grew up...together. And we were happy! Then you were taken from us...why? We will never know. I just hope that God had a really good reason for calling you home so soon in all of our lives when we needed you!

Rest in peace my dearest Billy. There was and always will be only one you! And I'm glad you are mine!
I loved you then, I love you now, I'll love you always....
Your wife
