Pam and Johnny,
I am so sorry for your loss. You will miss him but remember all the memories. The thoughts of him will come more than you think. I picked up the phone to call my mother the other day, she died in January.
It is ok to cry, to be mad and to not understand.
It is not easy, there are no answers but when you feel the urge to talk to him, do it. I believe he will hear you. It helps me some.
With understanding,
Joe Graham
