"The measure of life..."

Honey on January 16, 2011 as I slid across the seat of the funeral home limo, heading to the cemetery on that horrible day, something caught my eye and took me by complete surprise....the "key to your heart charm" fell from my bracelet onto my lap. This key would be the first of many gifts you have sent me since you left to go home. I wish you had not had to leave me here alone; while you were here with me life was so joyous and magically wondrous and always filled with love and laughter. 

With deep and profound thoughts of you, Justin, on this day [September 11, 2013] marking two years and seven months since you went Home. I cannot help but wonder how much more honey you could have accomplished in this time now gone. Would you have the job of your dreams, would you have met your soul mate, would you be making wedding plans or would you already be wed as we awaited your first born child, would you still be composing wondrous music, would you still be......aw honey I can only dream about you and what your life could have become.

"The measure of a life is dependent on how far you will go each day to become a better person. How many people you treat with kindness and how much closer you get to learning how to forgive both yourself and others." ~Unknown


Your leaving created a hole in my heart that grows larger with each passing day. I miss you today [like I do every day]. Your leaving has created a hole in my heart that grows larger with each passing day. I love you Justin [unconditionally] from the very depths of my soul. 

I am and will be throughout eternity your devoted momma
