It took me awhile to finally realize that this has happened. Our bond was unbreakable. No one understood it but we did. We fought a long battle but god knew what was best for you. I loved you with everything in me and if I could do it all over again I would. Life without you won't be the same. Without you I am so lost but I know that you are looking down on me and smiling at the woman I am and becoming. I love you Jeffrey and you will always have a reserved place in my heart. Rest on baby rest on.
