Happy together again! I know you're now at Dad's side again, Mom. Sad to see you leave us, but happy to know you'll be smiling down on us from your heavenly home. Saw my 1st Painted Bunting of the year this morning and knew it had to be a gift from you. I'll always cherish our joking that you've got a Painted Bunting at your feeder. Every time I see one, I think of you and always will. Love you, Mom. Hugs and kisses to you and Dad.
Always the baby,
Keith
