Two years have passed since you left this earth. These two years have been the most difficult and heartbreaking years of my life. I miss you so much it hurts. I never knew it was possible to shed so many tears. I really miss the way you used to make me laugh. Your sense of humor was unparalleled. I miss our daily conversations and your positivity. I tell myself that we will laugh like that again someday. I have to believe that to keep going. I am eternally grateful for all the memories you left us. They will live on forever. Until we meet again. I love you. ❤️
