Found this from a couple years ago thought I would share

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Today I read that note you left me,

I was mad at first but then I understood.

I really miss you, you know.

I wish I could of said goodbye

I wish you had told me then i could of gone with you so you wouldn't of been alone

But...

then you would of been mad

You wanted me to stay

You wanted me to find someone better

Wanted me to travel far

Wanted me to be the mother of someone's children

Wanted me to live my life when yours had been taken

So today I stopped mourning

Instead I picked up your letter held it to my chest and said I loved you one more time before I folded it up and put it away....

Then today I opened it again and read it again and finally answered you back

Dear tommy,

Today's my wedding day

Today I start my new life

Today I let the future unfold

Today is the day I let your spirit free

Today is the day I say I love you once more...

Today I read your letter again

I read it in my presidential speech

As I thanked the man who kept me going even after he was gone

I then folded the letter up and whispered I love you one last time

Now today I opened your letter again

I didn't need to read it I know it by heart and...

I wanted you to know my first child was born today

Today Anthony Thomas was born
