I gained a third guardian angel on June 11 2015. Tears cannot express how bad this hurts me… He might have not been blood family but HE was and always will be part of my family. Pineapple, I wish i would have seen u a week or so back, I kept saying to travis how I wanted you to meet him/him to meet you that day I thought of jus showing up at your door step, I wish I would have more than anything now… I’m am so glad and thankful tho you got to meet my amazing little girl. It meant more to me than u realized to have u meet my daughter. I wish you could have meet my son also, but they WILL know and hear about the amazing Pineapple! I love you pineapple I kno your watching over me too kno and my children. Tell my mom and brother hi and I love them and give em jus as much crap as you did me when u seen me 😉 I am sure you already are giving crap and I’m sure your catching them up on what all they missed even tho they were always here by spirit. And they will be glad to show you around. Every time I see a Harley or pineapple (lol) I will think of you and kno that at that moment you are there with me.
Always remembered…..never forgotten.
