16 months

We missed you on our trip. We had to take "Dora the Explorer," our GPS Garmin to replace you, our true navigator. The first night we were there, we ate at a place where we ate on our previous trip with your presence. Eerie. The waitress sat us at the exact same table and even set out 4 plates instead of the obvious 3 that were needed. Eerie. And sad.

Your name written in the sand is a cheap replacement for having your face in the photo. But, it is all we have right now.

I saw a cute little boy at the ball field and almost gasped when his mom said he was 16 months. He has been alive for the exact amount of time you have been gone from us. You would have eaten him up.

Just wanted you to know that I love you. And that everything still reminds me of you.

Becke,
Some days it seems like it has been longer, but most it seems that she is only a visit or phone call away. I love her and still think of you and your family.
