To my Nessie,
You will always, always be in my heart and soul. I wasn’t ready for you to leave so soon. No more pain, no more suffering Honey. Be at peace and with the family that went before you. Remember, I love you to the and back….our favorite saying.
Love,
Nina
Such a beautiful soul gone too soon. Sweet, sweet girl, your demons are behind you now. It is your time to find peace. You are very loved and will be missed.
Thank you for the kindness you showed me, all your smiles and inside jokes we shared. I’ll miss you Jess.
Jessica and I were 18 years old when we brought Shelby into this world. Two kids with a kid. It didn’t scare me because I was madly in love with her. By the time we had Kendall we were 20 and falling apart. We create two lives and Jessica was an awesome mother, like AAA mom. She got all the books. We took all the classes. We were ready. These kids were never going to get away with anything. What drove us apart in the end isn’t important now. It’s what we did when we were together that binds us. I am sorry for how it ended. I am sorry for any pain I caused her. I am heartbroken we will never have the chance to be the parents these two beautiful girls deserve. I think its nearing 24 years since we parted ways. The last time we talked I congratulated her on being a grandma. The next time we talk, *squeeze*squeeze*squeeze* was our code when holding hands. Until then, my friend. <3
