I didn't get the chance to call you when I did, I was so exhausted from overworking... I'm sorry. I love you, and I'll forever cherish every memory I have had with you. From my very first time grabbing your hand to walk up that big hill, to my very first song in church...you are the reason I've sang with my heart, and spread the gospel today. You've got to see me accomplish things in life, I'll never forget your laugh, smile, hugs, the smell of your sweet cornbread baking in the kitchen and freshly mopped floors of pine sol. You wiped my face and got me dressed for school in the mornings, cooked us breakfast... we sat and watched Aladdin until it was over, said our "I love you's" and went on our way. I pray that God gives you a place in heaven that over looks us all. That you're running in fields of your favorite flowers and reunited with your mother and everyone you've missed along the years. You've finally won the lottery, and gained an abundance of joy, love, and anything you could ever want. That's all we ever wanted for you...You will forever have a place in my life. I love you
