View all 584 ReflectionsBeen thinking a lot about you, that day. And how much of an impact you have had on so many.
I have a reoccurring dream about today, have for a really long time. And the one thing I can never do, is keep that phone call on the line about 5 min longer. Before you headed to meet us.
Never shared that before but you know….hope you’re proud, as you should be. Of those who honor your sacrifice.
