There's so much I have wanted to say & ask in the past year.  I talk out loud to you more than I care to admit.  Do you hear me?
The last week has been very hard.  I am dealing with so much sadness, pain & anger.   I know I am not the only one who misses you but sometimes I feel like there is noone else I can talk to that understands how lost I am without you somedays.

I miss our Sundays playing pool.  Being able to call you and talk when something bothered me.  Calling you to laugh over something funny I heard.

Who would have ever thought that I would depend on you so much.  Maybe too much, maybe that's why you didn't have enough strength to go on.  That's one of my biggest fears, that you were there so much for everyone else that there wasn't any left for Joe.

As hard as it is I pick up and go on.  Always remembering your smile, your laugh, your wacky sense of humor.  Never forgeting you because you meant so much to so many.  Never forgeting you beacuse you were my friend.

Love Always, Linda
