The past 10 months have went by so fast, but it also feels like a lifetime too.  I've found myself still thinking every so often that this is the longest we've ever been apart.  I know that sounds crazy but I still miss you so much!! But the Lord has given me the strength and courage to keep going and I know that giving up isn't a option at all. You and I were completely dedicated to Him, and you to the very end, so that is what I have to keep doing too.  He's brought me this far and will keep me going too. One special day, we will see each other again! :) 

I often wonder what you're doing in Heaven, and know that YOU ARE living the perfect life.  And I thank God for taking care of you.  I know both He and you are watching over me and the rest of our family, while you continue to live on each and every day in our hearts.  I keep telling Daisy how much you loved her too. You will always be one of the things that I'm most thankful for too, along with the kids and grandkids, etc.

I'm going to be decorating the house for Christmas just like we always did together. You know how much we enjoyed doing that, however this year, it's a special tribute to you.  I miss you but since we have to be apart, I do find comfort knowing you're spending it with Jesus this year. 

I miss you, and I love you with ALL of my heart, and I always will!  God gave me the best in you, and keeping you alive in my heart is the best gift that I could ask for all year long, and all that I want and need. 

We may not be together, but our hearts always will be, and still full of love no matter how much time passes.  I love you Gary Pearson.  . . .forever and ever!!
