View all 152 ReflectionsHello again cousin. Another Christmas season approaching, another year almost gone. It seems like each year is flying by now. Almost 19 years since you left that night. Who would believe that? Not me. I cried today thinking about you. I don’t always cry but today I did. I always wonder what might have been if you , Rogee, and me were still together. I shouldn’t but I do. I needed to talk to you both today so that’s why I’m writing. I miss you every day…Rogee too. Boy, will we have much to talk about when we are together again. Wait for me. I’ll be there in a blink. Love you J-Dub.
