 Jim was a bright light in the lives of those who knew and loved him.

He was smart, generous, loyal and funny.

He was a lover of nature. He loved to fish and hunt. He just loved being
 out in the great outdoors and it gave him a sense of peace like nowhere else.

Gone too soon.  

We remember and miss him dearly.  Forever in our hearts.

Until we see you again.....Jim, Jimmy, James Steven.....

11 years James Steven. Still feels like yesterday. Missing you will never feel right. It feels like home has disappeared. I'm so blessed to have you as my brother. Wish you were here. I know you are so proud of Cody. I just wish you could tell him. Wish all of you were here to see him take off and fly.
Love you. ️

James Steven, Jimmy..... Missing you...... For 10 years, baby brother. Miss your face, your wisdom, your bravery, your honor. Miss your smile, your laugh, your sense of humor. Miss your intellect, your impersonations, your wit. Your blue eyes and the curls in your hair. 
Just miss you Jimmy. ️️

Today I listened to your old CDs. There was music you've had since high school, CD's you burned yourself. Music I'd never even heard before. It took me to so many places, times, memories, emotions.
I thought of newer versions by other artists, how you would have liked them. Tears trickled down my face for so many reasons.
Its seems so very long ago. It seems like just a moment ago.
There is just no measurement for loss. Not the depth of pain, the amount of time, the ache of missing someone, it is bigger and more powerful than words can articulate.
I miss you Jimmy, Every Day.
I Love You, Forever and Always. ❤

Jimmy,
I dont know if today will ever come around that it doesn't hit me like a tsunami. I love you so much. Missing you like I cant even put into words.
I watched something this morning and this was so profound and even moreso because of the day....

      Dirge Without Music

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains,—but the best is lost.


The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
They are gone. 
They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy. Every day I think of you. There will always be a range of emotion. We went to Crested Butte not long ago and as we got close to Almont an eagle soared through the sky and I knew you were watching over us. Bittersweet tears filled my eyes....  I miss you, Bro.
Wishing you a Happy 46th. Love you, your big little sis. xo

Ah, little bro, not the a day goes by that I don't miss your face, your laugh, your grace. Some days, like this one are unbearable without you.
I know you are with Ma, Pap, Gram, Gramps and the rest of our family that had transcended this thing we call life and finally are the light. But I miss you and I love you so very much.  Until I see you again and can show you my love...... xo

Missing you all so very much. I dont seem to know where I fit in, in this world without you guys. The silence echoes even when the room is full. There is an emptiness that will forever be... a void in this life without you here. I love you now as I loved you always. XO. ~V

Imagine if I was given one moment

July 8, 2013

Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.

 I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.

 I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.

 I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.

 If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.

 There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits every time.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.

 For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!

 I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.

I'm building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.

 I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you.

Missed

August 2, 2013

Saying goodbye
The hardest thing I've ever had to do
I never thought I would Especially not to you.
You always listened And knew what to say
Knew when to give a hug
When I was having a bad day.
No one will ever take your place
I can always promise you this
It’s hard to find someone like you
So know you’ll always be missed.
