"Harper is 9 years old today. Nine years ago we were at the hospital at this time having our baby. I miss you so much Heath my heart hurts so bad still hard to breathe at times. When I think of you, of us, it's the good us ALWAYS. Best relationship I've ever had was with you. Five years of living together plus one year into marriage without an argument or disagreement not even raising our voices at each other.....ever. The most loving, trusting, happy, content, caring, attentive, non controlling, drama free healthy relationship I've ever been in, effortless that's why I married you. It's sad and lonely here without you Heath. The memories just aren't enough, we didn't get enough time I want you back home with us. I love you Heath I will never not love you. "
In loving memory of
Heath Michael Holmes
