To my beautiful daughter, Morgan – I miss you every minute of every day, but today, on what would have been your 29th birthday, it hurts even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy birthday Morgan. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is the day we celebrate the light you brought into this world, the moment you were born. I want you to know you brightened up everyone\u2019s day, every time you walked into a room.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, my heart wishes you were here, so we could all celebrate the amazing person you are. We would share your favorite Tiramisu birthday cake, have crab legs for dinner, sing happy birthday to you, and listen to your sweet giggles, as you open your birthday presents. But no matter how hard I wish – you can\u2019t be here. We will still celebrate your birthday without you, and hope you can see us celebrate you, while you are celebrating with all the angels in Heaven. Your life mattered, not only to your family, but to so many other people as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past week has been exceptionally hard, and as usual, I try not to ever show the world. Your friend, who was born one week before you, just got married. Her wedding pictures were beautiful, and everyone was so happy\u2026I am really happy for her, and at the same time, it tore my heart apart knowing that we can never have those special moments with you. It never seems like the memories we made are the ones that hurt the most\u2026it\u2019s the new memories, created without you, that hurt the most.\u00a0 I miss the future that we were all expecting to have with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0I miss you with ALL my heart and I love you to the moon and back x infinity\u2026forever!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI LOVE YOU EVERY DAY. AND NOW I MISS YOU EVERY DAY\u201d<\/em> – MITCH ALBOM<\/strong><\/p>\n
