My Sweet Foster: I missed you so much this weekend, even more so than I typically do. I guess much of what I did this weekend reminded me of you and I and things we used to do together. Todd and I went on a little vacation trip for his birthday. It did give us some time to spend together and bond, but it also achingly reminded me of how much I loved it when you and I would take those short, weekend trips away....just you and I. Everything reminded me of you and so much more, reminded me of my loss. I would see couples our age holding hands and going to dinner and laughing, and oh how much I wished it could have been us doing those things. I try to be strong and focus on what we had and not what I've lost, but you are missing out on so many things. There is your grandchildren graduating and growing up without you. The trips your sister has made to Tennessee to see me and you're not here and it is so bittersweet! I pray for God's continued strength to make it through my life without you. I will love you forever. Joy Lynne
