CHERYL ALLEN My dearest, darling Cheryl ... My soul mate. Love of my life I never thought I would ever have to write you another letter. I don't know what to say, it has been a long time. I know you are being taken well care of by Mom, Dad, my brothers and sister. I can hardly wait for the day that we are together so I can take my turn again. Why, after such a short time, He took you away from me, I don't know. Guess he has other plans for you. We were supposed to grow old together. Watch, and enjoy our Angels , like we talked about. We went through so much, and our love continued to grow through it all. True love comes only once in a lifetime. When I found you, I knew. It's not the same, trying to share happy moments, your birthday, our Wedding Anniversary, Christmas, and all the other special moments. I feel like I let you down, so sorry. I take comfort in the fact that all your pain is gone now. You are walking, cooking, singing, reading, sewing, knitting, skating, and all the things enjoyed doing. Someday we will dance again. Life without you is empty, and feels meaningless. I have lost my purpose for being here. Kyra is getting big, walking, even saying a few words. Looks at your pictures and say Nana , gives you kisses. Calls me Pape . She can feel you, as I do, watching over her. It's heartbreaking that you are not here to enjoy her. Our Little Angel that fell from the Sky . Kristie a good Mom and Kris a good Dad. I pray every night that you will come get me; take me in your arms, so we can be together once more. I miss you so much. There is so much I want to say to you, but am sorry I have to close this letter. Until next time, my love .... Hugs and kisses and all that go with it Love, Kim
