Hi there Pop's...I was thinking about how much I miss you today and thought I would put it in writing. How I wish you were still here. Its been 3 years now but it still feels like yesterday. I need you to watch over and guide me. Sometimes Im not sure where im going...Help me to be strong and make the right decisions. I could really use you here to help me and give me that good advise you always handed out, or even just the fact that you listened to me. I want to go to the cemetary...but I just cant make myself. I feel so alone and heart broken when I am there. I miss you sooooooo much. Love you!! ~J
