Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of the last day I saw you, You were just coming out of the local barber shop. Mother, Randy and I were in the car as she had just picked me up from school. We waved at each other as we passed by you standing at the doorway. That memory plays in my mind so many, many times and even after all these years it is still so vivid. My heart still hurts for you everyday..........
