Today is hard. It’s 3 months since you reunited with pawpaw and it feels so weird to have you gone. Today is the first day I’ve been able to bring myself to come and see you. Gianna is here with me today, too. The weather isn’t the best, but it’s just us… so there is a peace that is here. I’m at a loss for words. I think of you everyday. Weston sends his besitos, your favorite. Today, I’ll watch the many videos I have of you dancing, playing with the kids, and enjoying life while you were still earthbound. I love you.
