Don't cry for me

My sweet Erin,
Yesterday would have been 7 years for you and Jeff--your 7th wedding anniversary if you had lived that long. Well it was the 7th anyway wasn't it.
I still cry for you as if it had just happened. So many memories are flooding back into my mind all the time. I may see a toy or book you had as a child and it reopens the wound of my soul and reminds me all over again that you are not here--at least not in the flesh.
I still miss you with every breath I take. David and Daddy do, too.
I remember the song you sent me, "Wish you were here" by Mark Harris. I wish I could not cry, but it's impossible for me. You know your mom--I was always a crier.
And now even more.
I'm working on your stone marker. I hope it is good. I know it will never be good enough, but it will be pretty just like you always were and still are to me.
I love you,
Mama
