"Dear Heart,"
It's been one year since you left, and my heart is still just as empty, maybe more so.
One thing I've learned in this year is to appreciate the ones you love and every minute spent with them. Treat each day with loved ones as if it's the last day – because someday, it will be.
"So let's send up a prayer for this love that we share, 'cause it could change in the blink of an eye. No, you just never know how tomorrow will go, so let's make sure we kiss goodbye."
We all love and miss you so very much. We thank God for giving us the precious gift of you.
– Love, Nan
and all your family
