Happy Birthday, Avery
On March
16th you would be 11 years old. I often wonder how much you would have
grown in the past two years since you passed. For you’ll always be my
little man. In my heart and dreams you’re always my little man. Avery,
you were only one little man in the world, but you were the whole world
to one man and that will never change. I love and miss you so much.
Love, Dad
Honey,
Grammy misses you so much. The house is so quiet and empty without you.
I think back and can laugh at all the good times we had. Some days I cry
because I miss the fun times we had. I was blessed that you lived here
for the last four years. I got to see you with your Daddy and how much
you guys loved each other. Happy Birthday.
Love,
Grammy
