First off, I will miss you, Mom.  You took me as your own and I will never ever forget how happy, just you and me.  We were driving around, playing music of course!  I can still hear your voice and laughter, your smile.  Even if we always got mad at each, we always got through our ups and downs and that is what I love about you.  You never gave up on me, you were my      support, my rock.  I will miss our talks, laughs, man, my twin.  I’ll miss when you would say, “Man, we look alike, course you!”

As you always called me, “layn’z”

Love always, Alayna
