Happy 3rd Heavenly Birthday

Dear Scott, As your birthday approaches I began to think of how we would celebrate, with ice cream cake of course. Then I began to think of how my world has changed since you received your wings. How misplaced I am in this big old world. How everything familiar ia foreign to me. Skylar is growing so fast. She is such a little girl with so much personality. She has a witty little personality, she is very funny in the things she comes up with. She is going to be in the 3rd grade this year. She picked up the Celebration Of Life book the other day. She never said anything , she looked at each page and then returned the book. I wonder if it was to refresh her mind with your picture. I try to do as much as I can for two of us. You would have been so proud of Kellie and how she stuck by me before and after you left. But, the time has come for her and Blake to have their own life. Kellie is pregnant with our next grand baby,a girl, Chloe Elizabeth. Can you believe that little chubby brown haired, brown eyed, wild little boy that we thought would kill us before we got him raised is going to become a dad. I know how much you loved Kellie and how much you would have loved this baby. I will speak of you to Chloe just as I do with Skylar. Brandi is getting married. After all these years, her and Pat are getting married. I know we didn't like him but, I don't feel we gave him a fair chance because of all the circumstances. I met him and he seems really nice. Skylar seems to like him and I think he is good to her and after all that is what we mostly care about. They will wedd in December. I still cry, I still miss you as much now as when you left. There is so much I want to tell you, so much I would love to show you. You would be amazed with our friends, the way they have stuck by me (even when I was difficult) the way they stepped up to the plate and the things they have done that you would have done. I hope you are proud of the small progress I have made without you, it has been so difficult without you. So as your birthday approaches , how will I celebrate without you? I will think of you as I do each and everyday. I will remember how you blessed my life, I will remember all the memories you have given me. You have given me more life far beyond my years. You have made it difficult for anyone to fill your shoes. Happy 3rd heavenly Birthday!
