Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was three years without Richard. Elizabeth and I went to dinner with Mimi and Richard's sister Kriste. We smiled and told Richard stories....as you all know, there are A LOT of them. We smile each day knowing he is at peace and in a better place. There will always be a whole in our hearts though. I have spent years laughing a things he did and crying over things I did - believe me, there is such a thing as survivors guilt. I still have a text message Richard sent me in April of 2010 saying that he loved me and what great friends we became again. I have read that so many times to remind me that things were good - even if we were fighting - they were good. There was still love for each other-just a different kind.
Elizabeth starts 10th grade next week. She also has her learners permit (if you live close to Atlanta.....be careful!) She drives in the neighborhood or some of the side streets but not on larger/more congested roads. I am going to sign her up for private driving lessons. I'm not sure my nerves can handle driving on busy roads. I think I already have a hole in my passenger floor. She isn't "dating" anyone right now. Dating in our world is hanging around each other. Much to her disliking, I think 15 is too young for a car date.
Our lives have calmed back down in the past year. Elizabeth is still in contact with her "brothers" and has seen them many times in the past year. We even spent time together at Christmas. She will always have a bond with them! She is an amazing girl. Not only is she beautiful, but she has a very sweet loving heart. She also have her dads quick wit - she comes up with some funny one liners.

As you can tell, I am not good at doing this - some of my message isn't on the last post.
I think I was still bragging about Elizabeth :)
We still talk about Richard daily - we miss him but know he is watching over us. His best friend Stephen came to visit us this summer and we had such a good time - lots of laughs. He is keeping in touch with Elizabeth which is something Richard would have loved. She is reminded all the time how much her daddy loved her. She is a lot like him-
Anyway, its late but I wanted to take some time to update you on Elizabeth.
Thank you-
Marcia

Thank you, Marcia, for your updates, and for the photo. They are very important to us.
I'm glad you and Elizabeth are doing well. There is so much of Richard, and you, in her. She was truly the light of his life.
He is obviously a big part of this community, and we miss him as well.
I know he would be very proud.

Oh, she is so beautiful.........and how wonderful for Marcia to contact us.
I am sure with a mum like her, she is going to be a happy well adjusted adult, with lovely memories of her Daddy.
How lucky she is to be loved by so many.
