How do I say the things I want to say today? How do I put such tender feelings into words? This day, of all days, is perhaps the most difficult day of the year. Possibly only matched by one other day. Four years ago today you changed my life and I can't find words to accurately describe how. Today I miss you more than every other day combined. So today I will hug Mr. E a little longer and a little tighter. Today I will cry a lot more. Today I will spend time with family as we all think of you. Today I will blow some wishes just for you. Because no matter how we try to make this a happy day, and to remember our eternal family, it is hard to miss that fact that the one today is all about is not here with us.
So have a grand party in Heaven with Great-Granddad and Billy, Great-great Grandmas Mary and Mary, and Great-great Grandpas Elbert and Clark, and all the other eternal family members there with you. But don't forget us. Maybe stop for a visit. Because we miss you and love you (a bushel and a peck) and always will. And I am thankful for the time I had to spend with you and the time I will get to be with you.
Happy birthday, Princess.
