Dad

Dad

Happy 37th birthday Dustin! I love you and miss you every day.

I miss you so much and my heart aches, with all the things we missed together.
Your Nephew is so beautiful, and God has blessed us with him. I can't tell you how much mom misses you every day. The pain will never go away but one day we will see you again.

Love
DAD

So it’s mothers day. It’s always a hard day for mom so I hope you can send her some extra love and peace today. Crazy it’s already my second Mother’s Day. Can you believe it? I’m someone’s MOTHER. Gage is incredible, you would love him. I think he’s going to be a lot like us as kids. He’s so athletic even for his age.  Loves being outside more than anything. He is obsessed with water. Dad even built him a pond by the barn. He gets mesmerized by dads fishing shows on tv sometimes, so I imagine he will be his best fishing partner before too long. Anyways, I just wanted to check in. If there’s one thing being a mother has taught me it’s that the days are long and the years are short. Time is never what we think it will be and all that matters in the end is the people you love. Family. We miss you Dustin. I wish more than anything we could go back but Gods plan for our lives is always better than the one we could ever have for ourselves. I pray that you are at peace in the heavenly eternity where you feel nothing but love. Keep watch over us Love you
-Raven & Gage

Dad

Thinking of you today. I can’t believe it has already been 6 years. Miss you buddy.

Hey big brother,

I’m sorry I haven’t checked in here lately. Life kept going but you’re never far from my mind. I’m watching you’re nephew sleep right now… Gage is getting so big and he’s changing so fast it’s truly mind blowing. He is 4 months this week and FULL BOY. Mom has me terrified with all her wild stories about you as a baby and kid. Far too many stitches and blood, but I think I’m going to make a pretty good boy mom. I hope you like his middle name after you and dad. I wanted to keep the tradition going. Gage James really wish you were here to meet him. We’re going to fly to GA to see mom and dad in a few weeks. I can’t wait to take him on your 4wheeler. I’ll be thinking of you when I do. Love you always Dustin. Keep watch over mom and dad for me, they miss you more than you will ever know.

Happy 35th Birthday! We miss you so much . Even though your not here on earth, your always in our hearts. Love you dearly

Love you and miss you

Don’t wait up for me yet

Dad’s

Wish you were here every day. Love you so much

Your sister has a beautiful baby boy. He’s named after you and your Dad! You are so missed and loved.

Thinking about you just wanted to look at all the photos and feel your presence. I know you are out there looking over your mom and I miss you.
Raven is going to have your Nephew in a few weeks and I am not sure how I am going to react but am excited. I am gonna ask you to leave the light on for me. I know I will see you again one day!

One of my favorite bands, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, just released a very unexpected single. I say unexpected because their lead singer passed away years ago. Anyways, they got the lead singer of Saosin, another one of my favorite bands, to provide vocals and make a tribute to their lead singer and best friend. When I heard the single, tears were flowing down my face and I couldn't stop them. I had to share these lyrics with you...one day we will see your face again, dude.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - Loved Forever

My mind, racing
Eyes wide, I'm sleepless again
I try and try to fight but I can't pretend

This part of me is gone
Taken too soon

The night turns into dawn
But in the darkness I can still see visions of you

We're still holding onto hope that one day we will see your face again
We still sing those songs you wrote
Reciting every line
Word for word
Note for note

On the outside we are fine
But behind fragile eyes
Tired and broken
I only wish I could understand
I didn't know what else to do
I thought that leaving would get it through to you

We're still holding onto hope that one day we will see your face again
We still sing those songs you wrote
Reciting every line
Word for word
Note for note

And while the city sleeps in flames
I'm still laying wide awake
And even through my darkest hour
Your blood runs forever

I hope you're finally free again
Set sail towards the sun
Wish I could tell you one last time
That you're loved forever
Loved forever
Loved forever
You'll be loved forever
Loved forever

We're still holding onto hope that one day we will see your face again
We still sing those songs you wrote
Reciting every line
Word for word

I'm holding onto hope
I'm holding onto hope
I'm holding onto hope
I'm holding onto hope

It’s Febuary and it’s seems like yesterday you were just a little fella, I miss you and Birthday coming up. Forgive me if I don’t stop it that day it’s tough. Know you are with grandma and grandpa. Love you and think of you everyday

Happy Thanksgiving Dustin,
Will never be the same with out you. Think of you every moment in every day!
Love you always

It's been two years since you were taken away.
My memory of that day is no longer clear,
but I know the pain can not be washed away with tears. Your mom and I miss you
You are everywhere I look, the sky, the clouds,
a running rivers, waves in the ocean
Now in God's arms you are safe.
Never again will I see your face.
But the photograph in my mind will never be erased.
In time, I'll see you
Until then my Son, your Spirit is with me always.
My memories are keepsakes
From which I'll never part
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart.
Although your presence is gone
And you cannot be touched
I thank God for the memories
They will have to do until we see you again.
I will stop by once and while but don’t wait up for me.
Love Dad

Its September and been a while since I wrote anything , not because I do not think of you and miss you everyday just been going through a lot.
I miss you so much and thought about the September’s on the sound and it’s about time for football season. They says when you loose a child you never recover and that’s a fair statement the pain never leaves and all the things you missed breaks my heart. I will see you soon enough and we can catch up but you live in my heart until then. I will stop by from time to time but don’t wait up for me.
Love Dad

I can’t believe 4 yrs ago today I walked into that crowded bar and somehow you made me feel like I was the only girl there ❤️ Miss you Dustin, every adventure I go on is for you!

Miss you every day, every moment. Love you so much

I felt you in my heart today and I miss you so much the laugh and the jokes. I will see you soon . Before you know it!

Don’t wait up for me
Dad!

Happy Easter Dustin! Miss you so much.
Always thinking of you. Love you
