just not the same

This holiday weekend was our first holiday without Leah. Our family has celebrated it the same way for several years & we always look forward to it. This year the rain caused us to have to change our plans. For me it helped me miss Leah less or so I thought. When the fireworks started & she called us & sent us text messages saying "Happy Fireworks" we were in tears. Lonnie always acts like such a rock, but he was the one sending her text messages back. My mom & I cried as we watched the fireworks, & poor Josh just sat in a slump. We were all still watching the fireworks together just thousands of miles away.
