I'm back in Illinois and I have to keep my mind busy so I don't have to really face the reality of you being gone. So many times I catch myself saying "I need to tell mom this." This is going to be the hardest time of my life. The inability to hear your counsel or to hear you laugh or see your smile. I miss you more than words will ever be able to describe. I miss my best friend, big sister, mother. With so much love Nini
