My dear son,

     Well, it's been almost 4 months since we lost you.  Amy and the kids are

doing fine, baby too.  IT'S A GIRL!!!   Just what you wanted it to be.  I'm so

thrilled.  Can't wait til she gets here.  We're gonna have another sonogram

done when Amy is about 7-8 months.  Besides you, this baby girl is my pride

and joy!  We sure miss you, but we deal with it one day at a time.  Eric is doing better, too.  This may sound strange, but your aunt told me that you visited her

early one morning.  I'm so glad you did.  I really think she needed it.  I'm gonna go for now.  I'll continue to write in this journal because I feel better

when I  "talk" to you. 

                                                                Love you forever,  Mom
