As I sit here on the grass alone at the cemetery like I have many times before, I cant help but feel such great sadness. I miss you. So much. I've been told so many times that "you're in a better place" and it's always upset me. What better place than raising your children is such an awful world? But, as I sit in the peace and quiet and shut the world out... I know it is a better place. I just wish it wasn't true. The more time that passes, the more I need you. Tyler needs you. Kaylee needs you. Ashlee needs you. We were cheated, and it's not fair. But, I'm grateful for the tender mercies I receive. Those moments are sacred to me, and will remain with me.
I love you Dad. Continue to watch over us in the coming days, weeks and months. Years too, but I don't think we have many of those left(:
Your little girl...
