I'm missing you an extra lot today Daddy. Your birthday is tomorrow, and I'm sad me and the boys can't call you like we do every year to remind you how great you are and wish we were there to have cake with you. With Christmas upon us, I don't feel like doing the things I do every year, like send Christmas cards, or wrap the presents. Because I can't send you one, or call and talk with you for the hours it takes to get the gifts under the tree. I don't want anything this year, nothing except to see you, or even talk to you one more time. Trystin was hit with the sudden understanding that you're not here anymore, and that poor baby wants you to come back, and my heart breaks when I have to tell him that you can't. Daddy this is just too hard, I miss you more than you could ever understand. I love you my angel, I hope you're resting easy.

Dad.. I am missing you like crazy. I have been trying to keep myself busy so that I wouldn't have to think about the fact that you're really gone. But as I sit here with nothing to do for once in the past few weeks, I am forced to think about it and let me tell you, it is hitting me like a ton of bricks all over again. I miss you so much and I wish I could just pick up the phone and call you and you could say some smartass remark to make me laugh because God knows that's what I need right now. There's so much stuff I want to tell you about, and so much I want to catch up on.. A piece of my heart is forever missing because it is always with you dad... I love you.

One of the things I loved about Brett was his twisted sense of humor. It didn’t matter who was around, or what the subject matter was, he always came up with a crude remark or a joke and made everyone laugh…even if it was uncomfortable for them! I dug it, whether anyone else did or not. My brotha from anotha mutha! I’ll miss you man!

Daddy,
It's hard to put into words the pain my heart feels without you here. And memories of you fill my mind like thousands of bright stars in the sky. I wish we had more time Dad, but I am so grateful for all that you gave, and I hope that I can do the same for your grand babies. I'll tell them stories of when we used to wash the cars on the weekends, and how you put up and took down the Christmas lights every year like clockwork, and your favorite foods, and your love for red vines and nutter butters. And how much love you had for them. And I'll continue to see little parts of you when I look and them, and I will feel you with me. Through the good and the bad daddy I know that you're here. I hope you're resting easy up there Daddy. Your wings were ready, but my heart was not. I love you.

Brett.. You are a buddy, you are a friend, you'll always be in our hearts and to be never forgotten. I'll miss our smokes together, the beers and the jokes. You are like a brother to me and I'll really miss the late night calls.
Till we meet again Bro..

It is absolutely impossible to name just one memory....
I loved it when you would sing and dance along to the radio, even though I acted embarrassed. I miss dancing with you in the living room to Bryan Adams' songs. I wish you were here to bite my head-
even though I hated it- just because I knew it meant you loved me. There are so many beautiful memories I have of you and I. And I will forever keep them in my heart.
There will never be a day that goes by that I won't be missing you.
I love you.

My angel in heaven. I wanted to know, I feel you watching over me, always. I wish you were still with us, but sadly you had to go.
God saw you were getting tired, when a cure was not to be. He wrapped his arms around you and whispered "Come with me." You didn't deserve what you went through, so God gave you needed rest. Angels are rejoicing their brother is home at last.
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Now remain in my love. (John 15:9)

Every memory of you takes my breath away. You always made me feel loved, even when you would bite my head to wake me up for work. Your happiness and your sadness were also mine. There is an old song that you were to young to know. I don't recall the name of it~
just a little of the lyrics, "that when I die and they ask me to recall the thrill of it all, I will tell them I remember you."
I love you sweet boy. Your Mom~

I think what I love about you most, is your willingness to say whatever you wanted regardless of whether people though it was appropriate or not! That congruency in your personality is something I have always respected as a kid growing up and as a man now. I see a lot if your humor styling in my personality today and I am disappointed that we don’t get to share them with each other anymore. I just hope that before my time is done that I can be as authentic as you always were. And when my time does come we will have the opportunity to have some more laughs together. I love you Uncle Brett and I hope you are at peace.

The reality is, we never forget, we don't move on, we don't have closure, but rather we remember, we honor, we adapt, with broken hearts.

They say there is a reason, they say time will heal; neither time or reason will change the way I feel. Gone are the days we used to share, but in my heart, you’re always there. The gate of memories will never close; I miss you more than anyone knows….

You're little girl sent me this picture earlier this month of Trystin. He had gotten himself dressed for school and asked Brittany (his Mommy) to take his picture. She was ready to take the picture in the kitchen and he said no Mom- I want my picture taken with Papa Brett. She knew in her breaking heart exactly what he meant. So she followed Trystin to a shelf where your picture and urn sit in honor of you. Trystin stood happily by your picture and smiled brightly. After taking the picture she looked at it and to the right was a bright light next to Trystin. Brittany sent this picture to me and even before she explained the picture and little Trystin's request. I thought to myself, you are with him in the picture, I could see your presence watching over him. Then when Brittany explained Trystin's request, I knew with absolutely certainy as did Brittany, you were with your little grandson watching over him as you are all of us. I love you little brother and miss you so very much. Saddness and joy in missing you but knowing you are in heaven and we will be together again.
Gift for you...

Take good care of her until we are all together again. I love you both so much. I know you love this little bundle too. It gives me comfort knowing that you're there to welcome her to heaven.
