Things have felt a little weird since you've left us. I think about you more than ever and really wish that I'd taken more chances to be with you. That's what they always say, isn't it? They wish they could've spent more time with them before they died. Well, I know what that's like now... and wish I didn't have to. You really didn't live very far, so I could've been with you more.

Last Tuesday was one of the longest days of my life. Final viewing, funeral service, and burial... then back to your house to go through stuff. It was rough. I never realized how organized you were with all of your gifts from people. You wrote the name of the person on the bottom of almost every single thing you had. Thank you, because I got back some little animals and stuff I remember buying you when I was in elementary school. It kinda made me laugh... although it was a little weird to be taking them home. But now, everythings on a shelf of things that I had bought you.. and even PopPop when he was still here.

Dad's had it rougher than the rest of us. He really misses you and PopPop. It's hard for him to not have either of you... or Grandpa Di Novi either... At least there's Grandma Phillis. Just thought you should know that he really misses you and loves you very much, MomMom.

I hope you're happier now. I know that it's been horrible for you these past couple years. I just hope and pray that you're in a better place, because only you would know if you were truely saved or not. At least you're not sick anymore... and you're not in pain anymore.. and you have you're mind back. It was hard to see you like that.. which is honestly part of the reason why I never came over. It scared me to see you like that. But, I hope you left with everything you'd hoped for.

I love you, MomMom... and I'll never forget you.
