I think of Milton all the time. Though we lost touch over time, he appeared into my life back in a tough time when I really needed a friend. He always had a joke, or liked to play guitar and get me to sing. Miss you Milton.

"they say there is a reason, they say that time will heal
but neither time nor reason will change the way we feel.
for no one knows the heartache that lives behind our smiles, no one knows how many times we break down and cry. we want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt, you are wonderful to remember but so hard to be without." (author unknown, from pinterest) Easter blessings from mom & dad. we love you always.

missing you

August 30, 2018

there is no grave to visit, no vase to hold the flowers.  no bench to sit where you rest for those who loved you best to pass away the hours.  no trees for shade or to hold a birdhouse or a chime.  no engraved stone with name, dates or verse about your life and time.

but there is a place on the world wide web for your memory to reside.  we go there to visit and pray that you see from above just how much you are missed and are loved.

there we leave words about our fondest memories, light virtual candles and place virtual flowers for you.

the tears on the keyboard are real.

we wish you were here every day of the year.....love you, mom


valentine's days past

February 14, 2017

no valentine's day is complete without the memory of the stories you used to tell about your delivering flowers for different flower shops. people that you delivered for said you were the best delivery man they ever had. you always had funny stories of silly things that happened while delivering the flowers.

a cherished treasure from you

we tried several times to bring our family together again. you would ask us to come, she would ask us to go. love and miss you, mom
