My Dearest Most Precious Son

Drake,

Three years and still not a day has passed when I did not think of you. You give me strength. And I give back to you endurance--to the end. You give me hope. I give back to you the desire to get through each trial. You give me faith. I give back to you the knowledge that I will be with you again. You give me Love. I give back to you my desire to be more Christ-like.

Your life here was short. Very short. Yet your legacy lives on in me forever. You have changed me. You have changed my life, my perspective, my everything and I am eternally grateful for you! When you were once the biggest trial I had ever faced, you are now the greatest blessing from the Lord that I could have possibly ever hoped for. And although there are still the days that I long to hold you, I know there will be the day where I do and it will be the most anticipated moment of my life coming to pass. And I can not wait my son, although I do. And I carry on. With this amazing family I have here on earth, your Daddy, sisters and brother. They give me so much strength too. You are my rock my sweet son and I love you! Happy Birthday! I miss you!
