"9 months have passed. All those times we spent with our beautiful daughter is alive in her heart. She misses you more and more every day. Every morning a cardinal greets us. We know its you watching over us !! Natalie was just talking about you getting stuck the other day. Boy she laughed and she laughed harder when we looked at the pictures of Jr pulling you out with the tractor. She wants to build a mud truck with blacky. We will see. Natalie has been looking at your pictures almost every day. She sleeps with your shirts. She treasures every stuffed animal you have gotten her. I told her the other day about the bb gun and monte carlo time. That bb shattered that window and how you bitched about buying a window and putting it in. We had lots of fun with that car. The hardest part about this all is ,we were starting to get along and bam your gone. I wish you were here. love you "
