The perfect family picture doesn't exist for us anymore.  I found myself sucked into browsing people's facebook pages today.  Over and over I was looking at people's perfect-looking family pictures and I was jealous.

Haddie Bo Bo,I shed lots of tears for you yesterday.  I was very angry and just frustrated that your not here and life is hard.  There is something hard everyday.

Dear Haddie Bo Bo,I don't really have much to say tonight just that I miss you so much baby girl. Today Eloise and I went over to Grammy's house for dinner.  Tomorrow she leaves for Florida for the winter.  She has been doing this for the last 5 years or so.  Last year she went
