He has a way with words, that is for sure. It must give you strength to know he is with you in spirit, as are we all.

Yes, he done good Lovey dubby He called last night and I asked would he mind if I posted his letter and story. He has another version of the story that is a tad different that he's going to send me. Sure could use an Alex hug right now, but his words meant a lot especially since the letter came yesterday. Crying Group hug

A cyber hug is not the same as an in person one... but we give what we can.

Lovely photo Ginger.

We'll be anticipating the other version of Alex's story.

Still holding your hand. Still hugging you tight!
