Thank you for all the prayers and thoughtful comments. I feel lost without him. I’m trying to make it thru the days but will never be the same. Very difficult to be alone. This month will be one year since his passing. Trying to pick up the pieces of my life. You all have a special place in my heart. Thank you!!
