26 years today- Where has that time gone?
There is an emptiness without you in it. You were such a huge part of our lives, and despite all these years, it’s never been quite the same. We learn to live without you, but that doesn’t mean we stop missing you.

As time passes, people move on, inevitably, that connection isn’t what it once was, and perhaps never can be, somehow, keeping your memories and your life alive on here helps and thanks to all the kind people who share their personal stories, mean so much. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
