CAROL DALE GREEN Dear Ma/Amma; The time has come once again to reflect, as we do every day, however, it has now been two years since you were taken from us far too early. Not a day goes by that we don't wish we could wake up from this nightmare. Our hearts still break and my stomach still turns knowing that we don't have you to lean on anymore. For myself, I miss your hugs so much; I miss your voice, your laughter. I go to the phone to call you and then I stop myself knowing that I can no longer do this. I am trying so hard to make sense of this all, even two years later, but still cannot. This wasn't supposed to happen. I think about you every day and, yes, I cry, I am sorry, we know that I cry a lot. I even still feel that emptiness inside, the part that was reserved just for you and always will be. I want you back to guide me, to hold me when things go wrong, to reassure me that I can do anything and that everything will work out in the end. For Cas, his emptiness seems far greater. He misses you more then anyone can imagine. He still remembers and wants you home with us. He wants to go for ice cream with you, to talk to you. You would be so proud of him; he is growing up to be such an amazing boy. We have many moments where we cry thinking about you and Bentley is always there to comfort us. You were such an amazing woman, such life, such energy; it is not fair that someone like you had to be taken from us. You have made such an impact on everyone's life and ma, please continue to watch over us and guide us, I know I need it more then anything right now, I need your wisdom, your support. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU WITH ALL OF OUR HEARTS AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR THOUGHTS! - Shannon and Casimir
