I just miss him

I have sat here for an hour now trying to figure out what words of wisdom on grieving and loss I would share with the world. Well, I have lots of things to say but today, all I want to say is I just miss him. I really really miss him. I miss the way he could make me want to scream and the next minute have me laughing. I miss his smile. Oh, he had a smile that would light up a room. He was just one of my three pride and joys. I would swell up with pride (and still do) when I would tell someone about him. Richie Steele was just a kid that made you think your heart would burst at the love you had for him. There isn’t a little kid in this family that doesn’t have a story about the time they spent with him. He was never ashamed to get on the floor and play whatever they were imagining. He wore princess crowns with his littlest sister. He talked music and life with Savannah. I don’t even want to tell you the things he talked with Luke about.

His Dad and I were talking today about what we would do just to have one more minute with him. I think most everyone that knew him would give up something to have another minute with him. He was our wonderful AMAZING Richie and we just really really miss him.
