You may not have a proper graveside but this year we were able to travel back to that scary place up Dirty Gulch and at least give you a proper marker there...
I am sure time will continue to heal this place...
It was surreal to stand in that place again. After all this time the crime tape still marks the tree near the spot. It's hard to believe another year has passed. Harder still to wrap my head around your being gone. Most days I have figured out how to carry on. But every so often there's still that day. I can't imagine a time when one of those days don't exist and quite honestly, I don't think it would be fair to either of us for me to never have one of those days. You will, do, and will always have a special place deep in my heart.
Happy birthday Mr. Waddles... you know the deal and the drill ;)...
Lots of love,
Tara Ann
