Happy Birthday, Baby Leo. My heart is so sad that you are not still with us. I love Andy's letter to you... I bet you were surprised when you woke up in Heaven!... I bet you thought it was a joke... a dream at best... You probably thought, hey, I should dream like this more often! This is good stuff. You didn't wake up hungry or your body hurting, no aches or pains... Well, you are living the good life now. We are still here on this crazy earth where life just got harder from losing you. I just watched the video that Jared made of you...He did an awesome job! A tear jerker, to say the least...It made me want to want to hold you-- just to touch you one last time.
Hey, I liked those swim shorts with the girls on them! They're you! When we were in Florida, we stopped by your house...through my tears, I laughed when I was in your bedroom taking in all your decorations. I saw the big picture of Jesus, and right next to it... side by side...yup...a big picture of a topless woman.!.. I pointed it out to Bob, and he said to me..."well, the woman is not just next to Jesus, but she is actually right between Mary and Jesus!"..!#@*... Sure enough... there was Mary on the left side of the topless woman! We laughed, and then we cried again! I guess this is a happy birthday for you... I'm sure they have your favorite cake up there and you probably have made a ton of friends, that's just like you...being best buddies with everyone.. !..............I love you Baby Leo...
Andy and Christine... I'm so, so sorry... I'm so very sorry sister.. I wish I could take your pain away even if it was just for hours or minutes at a time. I would gladly take that burden from you so that you could just catch your breath for a minute.
