Happy birthday, boy. Its been quite awhile since I found out you were gone and I still can't bring myself to believe it, every day when I wake up.. I can't believe I'll never see you again or hear you speak. There aren't holidays anymore, John. There is only sadness and the empty space where you used to be. I will carry this until the day God finally lets me go to find you. I love you so much. Victoria Gunstream
