Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

Dear Mom and Dad,
Happy Anniversary!
57 years ago today...2nd year together in Heaven. Couldn't afford a big fancy gift but you didn't go in for that stuff anyway. I knew you'd like the gift I got you.
All you really wanted was for me to do the right thing. You taught me right from wrong and although I didn't always follow your advice when you were physically here with me I'm working hard on it today. I'm trying to earn my spot right next to you and Dave in the Eternity that God promised us and you told me about.
I talk to you all the time and see your picture everyday...but you know that. I miss you both and Dave terribly.
I had to take a break for a few minutes...sorry...I was losing it...I'm such a mush nowadays. I know you remember when I was cold-hearted, a mean drunk and didn't have faith or a conscience. I don't know what I was thinking...probably wasn't even thinking. It all went by in a flash and you were called home too soon.
I felt for the longest time Dave left us to keep Dad company and with Dave gone too it just broke your heart beyond repair, Mom. I'm trying hard to understand it all and sometimes its very hard. Its coming together slowly...but surely.
You know what I've been up to lately and that wasn't always the case but I can't hide from you now.
I still carry the card in my wallet you gave me in 1998. It was a real low point of my life and you were praying everyday, all day for me. 'Footprints' is one of your favorites and I read it all the time now just to remind me of you. You carried me when I was a baby, God carried me all through Vietnam and everyday since.
I wish I could hug you right now but I will again someday. Talked to Bill and Ileane today and they mentioned your names over and over again. Talking about the old days and told me some stuff I never even knew about. You'll see them again someday.
Well, give Dave a big hug and kiss for me. I hope to give you the same gift again next year, if not, then I guess I'll see you but don't wait up...I plan on getting home late...whats new!
