Footprints on my heart...

Gina's grave marker was put in this week.  In some ways I think this makes it more real, but it is so good not to have just an empty spot of grass.  Now mind you, it is NEVER empty.  Someone always stops by and puts flowers or balloons.  I always leave Oreos for her.  That was "our" thing.  Every night she would come downstairs for "our" snack.  She would have 7 Oreos and I would have 5, no more- no less!  We would each dunk them in our glass of milk and discuss the day.  Those are the moments I miss most, the ordinary, everyday moments that you only realize were special later.  Of course, every day with Gina was special.  My son chose a wonderful girl that showed us all how a life should be spent - with love, laughter & smiles.  She will always be with us and has left footprints on my heart.  Love you G Girl....thank you.
