Today we celebrated Mason's Birthday we cut him an Argentina cake yeah your favorite. I put aside a slice for you :) He got a new bike, helmet and gloves, some new clothes from Tia & Ro she also got him a punching bag it's so cute. Mason asked for you today I thought it was so weird at first because you know how he says your name and Cely's name almost the same and I said Cely and he said all mad at me no mami I want lali. I just stared at him and didn't answer him because I didn't want to cry but it made me feel like I wanted to throw up at the same time so it did make me upset for a lil while after that but I know he's only 3 and he doesn't know that your never coming back home that you'll never walk in the door and throw your bookbag on the couch, smile that big smile of yours at him or me and say so what's up? what did you do all day? It really sucks that you two share a Birthday in the same month and 3 days apart, it's hard to be HAPPY for him and sad for you at the same time.`I have a headache just thinking about all of this stuff and can't sleep. I constantly hope that you will come back to me but I know it's not realistic of me but why does life have to treat me this way? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Happy Birthday

Charlie today we are supposed to be Celebrating your 18th Birthday. We were suppose to go get your license on this very day that you got out of school. I know you would've aced it we'd been practicing every chance you got especially those days I had to pick you up from Color Guard practice or if we went to run an errand. Your braking skills were very much improved and you had mastered your turns.. I was so proud of you when you did it perfectly and you were grinning from ear to ear cuz you knew how upset I was every time you hit the gas to make the turn, ahhhh those days were no more!

You were looking forward so much to today and now it's all gone.
I won't get to see the joy beaming from those beautiful eyes of yours and that smirk will not show from that perfectly shaped face of yours.. why is it that it must be this way? Everyday goes on and everything that could've been will never be.. It's not fair and I can't get past my thoughts of the day that I lost you and the lack of breath I feel when I think you...........
May you be at Peace, Beautiful
Your Birthday Card
