today is a hard one....

Today would have been Brittney's 23rd birthday.  23!!!!

I remember where I was 23 years ago; what I felt the moment I heard she was born.  I remember going into the room and seeing her for the first time.  I remember hugging my brother when he came out to tell us she was born.  I remember so much of that day, I wish I can remember more of her.

I am here, sitting in my office crying my eyes out, hoping a co-worker does not walk by.  It just hit me, the sadness of not having this bright, vivid young lady with us anymore.  I know she would have done amazing things in her life.

Wherever you are Brittney, please know I love you and think about you each and every day.  Watch over all of us and someday I will hug you again.
