It's only 8 days till the Anniversary of your Death, and your Birthday. I find myself looking at the pictures. You were never fond of the camera, but I did get some. Going to the first picture I have posted of you, such a sweet, loving boy, of 4. I was holding the camera. The second one, watching Ricky grow, a good collection of pictures from the time you were like 6 months old right up to kindergarten, I was holding the camera. Then Family Fun, a picture of you with your Sister, and Dad, and I was holding the camera. Another picture with your Brother and your Sister, professionally taken. Another picture, 12 years old, you and Buttons, I was holding the camera. Trafalgar Square, a good pic of you and Dad, I was holding the camera. There are lots of pictures with you at your Brother's wedding, with Jim, with Dad, with Amanda, I was holding the camera. I keep looking, pictures of you with Jim, Bruce and Sherri, pictures of you and your beloved car, and scooter, I was holding the camera. A couple of other pictures, One you holding Aaron, one at Chuggy's, a couple of shots I just stole. but there are NONE of the two of us together. I have to look back, and watch your life fold out in front of me, seeing you smile, laugh, and just enjoy all the family around you, but not one picture that I can see where someone else took the camera and took a shot of you and I laughing or just talking as we did a lot in the later years. Your Birthday is coming, your death day is also coming, and I remember you for the person, I gave birth to, and loved to the ends of the earth. You were a special baby, and a special person. I miss you now and forever. Love MOM
