    Just an update …reminding…for myself…I miss you Everyday Gabriel.
    At school and home or wherever I am. Its not the same without you here.
    I wish you were…
    I love you with all my heart.
    I will keep on showing and proving to Eryn that we love him as much as we did and still love you.
    But going on in life without you isn’t easy…especially knowing i’m in sophomore year which you didnt get to achieve…It sucks…and i think about you all the time when i see a computer or video games…and even Harry Potter books and movies….although sometimes I just want to cry …I will try not to …even when I really want to ….it’s just difficult…i usually do cry…almost every night…and i try hard not to do so in school…even at the computers…<3 </3 <3 </3 <3

    Your son and mine played video games on the XBox. We are very sorry for your loss. He was a good friend to my son. They spent a lot of time laughing, sharing and talking. I am glad they knew each other.
