Let us not learn to live without our loved ones, but celebrate the love they shared! I will miss you until my time comes, my sweet hummingbird. Then, the celebration begins! Love Mom

How is it that the beginning of your end in this life was this very weekend 11 years ago. It is still so very hard to miss your infectious zest for life and love. I will forever hold you dear to me and I know a piece of me is with you, for I know it is not here. You are ever so missed my dear sweet Hummingbird! My heart still breaks yet somehow through Gods grace I find ways to celebrate your precious life! Love you forever, love you for always, long as I'm living my baby you'll be! Love Mom

My dearest love, 10 years have now passed! In my heart, with all that is in me, I miss you! Your smile, you laugh, your hugs and your old soul wisdom are always with me. I have moments still when my heart aches for just one more conversation with you, one more joke, one more memory made. Although i hold in my mind and in my heart the knowledge I will one day live my hearts desire, I am now left with a hole in my heart and a piece of me missing. I long to once again see your smile, your hair blowing in the sweet gulf breeze and smell the sea and salt, the wind. Your spirt lives on the beach, you thrived on the outdoors. I plant our flowers in Your memory, I embrace the memory of your voice, I just miss you so! Forever and ever, love Mom.

"What is real and does it hurt, said the velveteen rabbit to the skin horse." "Real isn't how you are made, it is a thing that happens to you."
"Sometimes, when you are real, you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once. You become. It takes a long time. That is why it doesn't happen to people who break easily or have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't really matter at all, because by the time you are real you can't be ugly except to those that don't understand...once you become real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always!" You, my dear, sweet hummingbird, where real!

others leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same."

143 my little Hummingbird! You are forever in my heart!

i miss you and our little talks by the river❤️

Miss you, Dave!!!Great memories of you growing up.

So many memories...You had as much heart as you had energy! I remember how much you loved your Grandma Dingess. How you would do things for her that you wouldn't do for anyone else. I remember playing in the creek, on the hill, in Ohio, Texas...you loved being outside. It was almost like the indoors couldn't contain your spirit. You and your mom had a special bond. I see her pouring that same love she did with you, into Ceejay. And I see the energy and love of life in that little girl too. We all miss you so much.
