Before I left I wanted to see how your tree was doing. I know it doesn't look like much becuase it is still winter but it is still holding on.

I love you.

Well last night was the big night. Julia's Sweet Sixteen. You be so proud of her. What a change from that little terrorist to a beautiful young woman. 

During the candle lighting ceremony she light a candle for you. It was the most heartfelt speech I have heard in a long time.  As with everyone else she played a song for you..  A Stones song - Missing you - how appropriate.

To my horror only a few candles later did she light one for me. You know how I love to get up in front of everyone.  Of course I was followed by a Bon Jovi song.

Oh how I wish you were here to spend this day with us.

My biggest regret is not only knowing I wasn't the best wife to you, but that we didn't have a child together to watch grow.

I guess I will have to follow everyone else's kids..

Look how beautiful Julia is and how handsome Vincent is.  He must take after his uncle.

I love you.

Came to see you today. As always it was windy as hell. Is that you trying to tell me something? :)  Anyway I brought you a little something to let you know that I am always thinking of you.   You are never too far from my mind my love.

I miss you.. XXOO

Can you believe that it snowed the entire way up to NY. Although I can't wait to get there, I am said when I am there. I hate not being there with you. It seems that when I am in NC it is stiill like you are just away or something.

I didn't get a chance to see you today because it was crappy. I know I always do first but I wanted to spend some time with you. I will be there tomorrow.

I love you.

Mom and I are on our way to NY. Can you believe it? Julia is 16!!! My GOD how time flies.   This is another bittersweet moment that we get to share without you and dad. I am so lucky that your family still includes me in family affairs.  No matter how hard they are to attend without you.

Loving you forever.
