This is my love note to you Terry and Tiffany. Today is 19 years since we were together in this life. That is 2 years longer than you were here on this earth with us Tiffany and 3 years less than how old you were Terry when you left us. It’s hard to comprehend that it has been that long….but in a way, it seems like only yesterday.
Many things have happened and changed in these many years since you were taken. But the thing that has not changed is how much we still miss you. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have a thought about each of you. So many birthdays have gone by. Many Christmases, Easters, dinners, movies, new songs, new technologies…..so many occasions we weren’t able to share.
The thing that brings me comfort though, are the memories of the great times we did share. I am forever grateful for the grace that allowed you into my life. I see other families and think how fortunate they are with their family intact. And I hope they are making those cherished memories with their children that I now have to keep me company.
It’s bizarre to know how quickly life can change. How the people we think will be with us forever….may not even be with us tomorrow. How sad to think of people not enjoying those times when they are able. Sad that they may not be taking advantage of the time to be with the ones who really matter in life. When good-bye is forever….you realize how very long that is. One thing I have come to learn though is that love is stronger and lasts longer than death.
So, I just wanted to say that even though I think of you every day.....today is the day in time that changed everything I will ever know about feeling whole again. I love you both and will for all of my forever. Hugs & Mush, Mom
