Harry,
Of everything there is to miss, I’ll miss your laugh. No matter how many times I might have heard the same story over and over again… you still made me laugh. I’ll miss you. No one will understand how much I will miss you. I’m sorry I didn’t visit much, but life changed for me. I’m glad you’re not in any pain and having to try to keep it together at times. My heart is broken and so are the girls’ but we’ll be ok. Visit us when you can… I’ll be waiting.
I loved you so much, everything about you.
