to my sweet sweet boy. Today you should be turning 15. Today you should be outside enjoying the sunshine. Today I should be making you a nice warm bran mash for dinner with apples and carrots. Today I feel as though there is a dark cloud hovering over my head despite the sun shining in the windows. I think about you every day. I miss you every day. Somehow today it manages to hurt just a little bit more.
