    1 and everyday is a struggle for me. Nothing will ever be the same. The 6th of every month
    1 is an issue for me. Thursdays are an issue for me. The aftermath is far greater than what

    1 I love you and miss you so much. It's so unbelievable.

    1 Everyday is hard and unbeleivable but I keep moving, I have too. They'll never know
    1 the heartache, sleepless nights and just how deep it runs. Some say we're :salty"
    1 some say "we're just mad". I say those who've said those words haven't felt anything
    1 like we have. But God Bless them and may they never experience anything like this.
    1 It's a such a cowardly act yo sneak up on a man and not give him man a chance.
    1 The foolery..you wouldn't beleive it Son...
    1 Everfyday is Memorial Day for ms. I love you more than the sun will ever shine. Ma.
    1 You just didn't know who was who and what was what...they had no right to take u from us
    1 but life has a place for the deceitful, the phony and the shooter(s)
    1 I love you until the end of my time. Love Ma
    1 Im better than I was son. Some days are better than others. Sosme days my heart hursts harder
    1 than others but everyday that I wake, I pray for the strength that fI need for
    1 the day. As long as I wake up, I think I can make it. I love you to the moon...Ma
    1 Love you always...Ma
    1 Words can't express what this past year has been like. I didn't think that I would make it.
    1 At times, I didn'[t care. The pain of that day will never leave me and I've come to realize that
    2 I was scared of moving on. I thought it meant forgetting you. But moving past the pain allows
    1 me to live for your son, sister and nephew. If love was enough you would have lived a thousand
    1 years. I love you son with your crazy ways in all. Until we meet again. Love Ma
    1 I'm coming along son. Some days I don't feel like I'm making progress.
    1 some days, I do. Missing you so much.
    1 I always look at your picture and still can't beleive that you're not here
    1 We miss you so much
    1 You have no idea how much I miss you. Love Ma
    2 Hey Son..Finally got a chance to talk to Ashley..everything is good.
    2 I miss you son and I wish that I could tell you everything that's been going on and
    1 the recent bogus shit that was said. But I can guarantee you one thing..what
    1 they're going to do is play with about what I went through and what I'm still going through
    1 and the circumstances surrounding you not being able to be here. Period.
    1 I miss you so much....I love you twice as much.
    1 you are always on mind. I wish I could talk to you. Keep watching over me.
    1 i miss you so much. Love Ma.
    1 I miss you so much and I wish you were here to let the truth be known about
    1 Que. That you wanted and tried to do the right thing in fidning out if that
    1 was your son but Jerrica kept playing games and wouldn't go get the test done.
    1 How she was sending you pictures/texts of the Child Support office and how
    1 you and your fahter fell out over this DEMON. 8 years this has been going on and
    1 I don't give a rat's a** about what no one has to say. You have only one child in this world
    1 If I find out that he is yours. I will tell him the truth about all of it and what really
    1 happened with all of this. I wish they would let you rest in peace and stop passing
    1 this little boy off as your son. It's disrespectful to your memory. May youi Rest In Peace Son
    1 Until we me meet again... I love you..Alwways
    1 I look at your picture everyday..They'll never understand. I miss you so much.
    1 Know that I love you son and I miss you madly.
    2 Hey Handsome....I miss you. Love Ma
    1 Everybody has been quiet as a church mouse son. I've made enough noise and make it clear
    1 on a couple of fronts..haven't talked to them and ironically...I don't miss them. I'm better of
    1 without the fake love. phony condolences, insincere gestures. Their loss not mine.
    1 I miss you so much. It's going to be that time soon. I can barely look at your picture
    1 It's never ending but I know that it will get easier with time. Bubby reminds me
    1 so much of you when you were 4 years old. It's amazing. Genes don't lie
    1 Everyday is hard but today is exceptional. Heaven just couldn't wait. Heavenly 28th Son
    1 You are missed tremendously...they just don't know what they took and the pain they caused
    1 Morning Handsome..Miss you every single day..Love Ma

    1 The selfish part of me would have kept you forever but I know that you can take

    1 can never be filled, that was your place as it will always remain. Your smile will always
    1 be brighter than the sun. I feel like the heavens has cheated me but I guess
