Dear Mommy:
Mommy I wish you were here to see this
I finally got over that girl that broke my heart
She still plagues my dreams though...
You’re so wonderful I know you
Would give me such good advice if you were here
But I really don’t want to bug you while you sleep...
So until you get back
I’ll patiently wait and just ignore her for a bit
I even cleaned your room like you asked before you left....
Daddy has been smiling again...
He met Aunty Kristen, she doesn’t like me much
But It’s OK, I live with Gran, she cries a lot
But I'm being a big boy and I'm not crying
Please get back soon mommy...
God can find another angel...
I love you
