My heart and soul are existing in excruciating pain in your absence
Ray. Tears & doubt rarely subside.
Everything reminds me of you, how I failed you by not loving
You enough and by demanding too much. If I had the chance I would have done so many things differently. I would have been kinder and more helpful and I would not have been a burden. I pray
For your family and their healing and well-being.
