Another year has come and gone. Has it really even been that long?
Fifteen years gone by so fast. I wish He would have made it last.
Other duties as assigned. We all go in His due time.
Only memories of the past. Hoping that they'll always last.

It has been 15 years, but life is still difficult moving on without you in it. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. Wishing that my girls wouldn't be missing out on having such a wonderful person in their lives. Only knowing you by your photo on the wall and memories that I share with them. It just doesn't seem fair. Please watch over them. I know you already are.

To the best big brother a little sister could ever ask for. I love you.
