Most Recent Reflection
View all 11 ReflectionsToday, as I was writing about Sean, as I often do, I looked at his picture. I called him names like I always did and told him I loved him!
I miss him, his calls, his texts, and his jokes. I am proud of Sean because he accomplished everything that he set out to do! I am proud of Sean because he made a difference in everyone's life that he touched!
Heaven gained an angel in our loss and now, I am sure that he is someone's guardian angel!
Rest peacefully my friend until Valhalla, I shall see you again!
