I miss being with my mom and dad.

 

We have so much fun together.

 

 

Hopefully we will all be back together again.

Laughing and being silly

and enjoying life as a family.

 

Miss you every day...

 

Do you have a food that immediately make you think of family?

 

It's wonderful to have these special memories.
