Azure skies call me.

I search them for your laughter—

You did not come home.

    Such a wonderful tribute to your son. These truthful, raw moments of love like this lets them live on, if only in your heart, which matters the most. While thank you is not nearly adequate, I am grateful for his service. I am so very sorry for your loss, Scott.
