For Martin.

Sometimes it hits me so suddenly that it takes my breath away. 
It's the way things remind me of you-when I have a sleeping kid in my arms, or when I see a book you love, or when I hear something that sounds like your laugh. 
And the pain comes fast and it comes strong and it lingers. 
There are days when I would fly a million miles just to tuck you into bed and kiss your little cheeks. 
There are times when I wish that I could scream across the world that I love you and miss you and want you in my arms. 
There are nights when I fall asleep with Google Earth on a screen next to my bed, windows open and lights off, imagining that I am a dot on my computer screen, picturing that I am in that place next to you.
