Two Years

Hello Sweetheart!

Today it is 2 years since you left for Heaven. Time goes so fast, and things are changing. We now have 2 beautiful new granddaughters-in-law. They are wonderful, and I love them both. In March Jordan and Noelle had a really beautiful baby girl, Kylie Elizabeth. Can you believe that your blushing bride is now a Great Grandmother??

We all still talk about you a lot and miss you so much. I no longer expect you to walk in the door any minute, but I sure still wish you would. Ben continues to talk about you like he sees you in the room. Maybe he does see you. Maybe that is a gift from God. (He tells us that you still have a moustache and wear a hat.) Ben doesn't remember you like the others do, so maybe God allows him to know you in another way.

It is almost Easter, and I have learned what a gift Easter is. Because of that gift I know that you are in Heaven and waiting for us. More than that I can’t ask for. I find it hard to be in Church during this season because I miss you, but also because I am so grateful for the knowledge that you are in Heaven, so I just sit there and let the tears roll, and I am filled with gratitude that you are in your home.

I love you Bill, always have, always will.
