David

I miss you every single day, Erin. David does, too. You were his only sister on this earth and he counted on you being here for him when he grew up. He has this hole in his heart, too, just like daddy and me do.
We know you are safe in the arms of God. We are not worried or fear for where you are. But there is just such an emptiness where your place was in our home, in our hearts.
I think so much about the verse the Lord whispered to me shortly after you left us for Heaven. "I am the Resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." That is my greatest comfort. I hope David sees that, too. He knows where you are.
You'd be happy that David is moving ahead with his schoolwork. He read two 500 page books, part of a trilogy in order to complete his 9th grade work. We have to begin his 10th grade subjects on Monday. I remember you helping him and working so hard with him that week in December, right before you left us in March for Heaven. You helped him catch up with all the things he was behind in. You were such a good teacher. I remember you wanted to be a teacher, like I was. Yet, you never got to go to college and get that degree because you left so soon, before any of us were prepared for you to leave. But maybe God is letting you teach the little children in Heaven. You have so much to give. I'm sure you are finding plenty to do.
I love you forever!!
