“I thought of you today”
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday and we’ll do tomorrow too.
I think of you in silence and make no awkward show for what it meant to lose you only those who love you know.
remembering you is easy. I’ll do it every day. It is the heartache of losing you that will never go away…

In Loving Memory of my Jimmy.
