LIFE WITHOUT YOU

Birthdate: February 19, 2005 It was midnight, my husband was out of town and I was lonely... I was looking back on old friends and family and thinking about how everyone leaves in the end. One way or another, the people that you think are in your life forever will go, just like a million people have before. Kind of depressing to think about, but it's true!

Birthdate: November 11, 2004 It was Veterans' Day, and I had been watching Saving Private Ryan on the t.v..
