hey DadDad, Im at work and freaking Stevie Wonder w/ his "I just called to say i love you" just came on the intercom music system. im so overcome with emotion. I grew up on this song. Its like the song is no good anymore bc i cant call mommom to sing it to her.

wow... wow how we miss you!! its just not the same without you (both) here. You guys did everything right. The absolute story book parents/ grandparents. The glue that held the family together. Your absence(s) have left such a painful void. I know Mommy will never be the same since you've been gone. You are not only her twin but her most faithful confidante and bestfriend, well besides me lol. Well it used to be me, right now not so much but the point is.... i just miss you guys, your never-ending absolutely UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. The only consolation in you guys being gone is knowing that moms heart is healed now that shes with Ricky, and of course with you. Even through her vicious alzheimers, her heart ached for you. The Alzheimers never allowed her moments of clarity for her to actually put it all together, but from the moment you died, til the day she died, she'd ask me why her heart has an empty feeling that hurts. NO LOVE will ever ever ever touch the love you guys have, and so freely shared with all of us, NO MATTER HOW HORRIBLE WE MAY HAVE BEEN!! its just not the same down here without you guys. The only person ive EVER felt comfortable to allow to touch me and share any sort of affection left me when it was time for her to come finally be back with you!! yes im jealous lol but i do find comfort in knowing that empty feeling in her heart is back full. We love you both sooo sooo sosoooosoo much. Hopefully i'll make it up there with you guys one day. I LOVE YOU MOMMOM AND DADDAD!!
