There are so many things I miss about you but most of all, I miss being able to hug you, tell you I love you and hearing you tell me you love me back. There's a picture of me and you with your arm around me and you look like you're proud to be my son. I love that picture mijo. I wish we had more time to take more pictures like that. You would be so proud of your sister today, she's doing great in school and I think it's all for you. I know she misses everything about you. You always had a way of making people feel special and loved by you. Life has been difficult these last two years without you. Maybe someday I will understand why you had to leave us. I love you baby - always and forever, Mom
