Hey love! Today was a real bad day for me. I don't know how much more I can handle. The house is almost done but I had to do it all by myself for the most part. Mom and Shannon have helped me the most. Thank god for them! Going to the dump tomorrow to get rid of the big stuff and them just have to clean. I still think about you everyday and miss you with all of my heart and soul!!! I just want you back here with me!!! You are my everything! It wasn't suppose to be this way, we were suppose to grow old together and raise our family! I just really want you to come back home!!! My life is falling apart without you but im trying so hard to keep it together for the kids. I'm so sorry things ended up this way. You are and will always be my everything!!!! Love and miss you still!!!! Forever your babe!! See you soon!!
