My dearest Brier Rose, I always miss you, but just missing you more than usual! There are times I still hope this is just an extra long nightmare. There are so many choices I wish I would have made differently! I wish I would have stuck with Daddy's decision not to let you see Shawn after he quit school. I just hated to see you cry. Maybe if I would kept you from him he would not have broken your heart and you would have finished college and most of all you would still have been with us! You leaving us has left a hurt in all of us that we really don't know how to discuss but always know I miss you so very, very much!! Love always, Momma
