As I lie here and reflect on my day, parts of it has been joyous spending some much needed quality time with Hayden & Lilly and now that I'm alone with my thoughts its just sad & lonely as I recall the last birthday you spent with me, we had so much fun dancing, laughing and just enjoying each other's company & the unquestioning love that we had for each other was beyond anything that I have ever experienced or will ever experience again in this life time, there's times I still get angry that you were taken from me and I'll never understand it, but I guess God knew what he was doing it doesn't make it right in my eyes but it's what I have to live with. I really wish you could see Hayden and how much he's grown, he's so smart, he's funny beyond words , he's a great kid and loves everything & everybody. I wish you could be here to watch him play baseball & see how much heart he pours into it, or see the look on his face when he got to hold an alligator, a baby tiger and a big tiger, it was worth every penny I paid to see that look of sheer happiness on his face. I wish you could meet my sweet, loving, out going, rambunctious Lilly, her smile is Absolutely contagious, her mind is sharp, and she's very smart( gets that from her momma) she loves ppl & animals after she warns up to them. She's so funny and there's never a dull moment with the 2 of them.. They love each other so much it absolutely makes my heart melt... I miss you every day & ill love you always

Its my 4th, New year's eve without you, just doesn't seem possible. I sent it hanging out at home with hayden & budda.. Haha guess I'm not as young and exciting as I use to be.. Hope you had a great time in heaven.. Miss you bunches
At this time a year ago I was in the hospital in active labor with one of the most precious Gift that I have ever gotten. It just blows my mind that a year has already gone by, it's been long sleepless nights, lots of diapers, bottles, sweet smiles, sloppy kisses, her reaching new milestones from her first tooth, her learning to crawl, then her walking even before she was a year old. Hearing her say momma momma just absolutely melts my heart and makes all the sleepless night and dirty diapers worth it a million times over, I'll admit it's not been the easiest year but I wouldnt change it for nothing. I've stressed my self out over her first birthday party because you know me,and know that I want it to be perfect just one she is. I know your watching over us and,keeping my family safe and,for that I'm forever greatful. I hope you are looking down on us Saturday and I hope you smile that wonderful smile and I hope you can feel all the love & happiness that I know I'll be feeling. I miss and love you always
Well it's fourth of July again, and this will always be a sad & fun day for me because this was the last holiday we were able to spend together, I recall watching you with Hayden at the ball field and just the look on both of your faces while watching the fireworks this imagine of you is and will forever be etched into my heart, today my Lilly got to ride her first pony and watch her first ever fireworks, she did great. I know this sounds nuts but I feel like you had a part in picking the most precious & most perfect angel that god could create to give to me. Sometimes when I least expect it i look around and see a cardinal sitting near me and I've always heard that this is a sign that a losted love one is visiting and it always brings a smile to my face because I know it's you. Thank you for watching over me and my family. Miss & love you always
Tonight as I was able to witness something that hasn't happened since1985 and will not happen again until 2033, I was able to look up into the sky and actually see Saturn & mars with the naked eye which was pretty awesome, and I was flooded with some very sweet & cherished memories of us just standing outside, you were going on & on about which star was where and what' it's name was, and how we should adopt us a star (lol) even tho I love this memory the best part is that you were standing behind me with your arms wrapped around me for a good 20-30 mins, no matter how silly at the time I thought your idea was on us adopting a star, I would've stood there all night wrapped in your arms, because that was my most favorite to be. We miss and love you Gregory
Happy Valentine's day Gregory, miss you so much
It's hard to believe that your celebrating your 3rd birthday in heaven. I hope that you have had a glorious day celebrating with your family.

You could see how big his gotten and some days he's too smart for his own good.. I know you are watching over us and,keeping us safe and,for that I'm so grateful. Know that I. Still miss and love you!! You will always have a special place in my heart. Happy 38Th birthday sweet ❤
Wow this is our 3rd Christmas without you, seems like yesterday we were making plans, laughing and enjoying each others company. We had Christmas with Debbie & Mark tonight and of course Uncle Mark & Nana spoiled Hayden and Marks a pro with Lillian. It warms my heart that they've accepted Lillian as their family and will love her as they do Hayden. It's very compassionate of them both to accept Rodney and welcome him into their home and treat him with respect. I hope you have had a grand time celebrating in heaven with your family. I will always love & miss you. Merry Christmas Gregory♡♡♡
Wow this has been a very busy few past weeks. From running to and from doctor appts and trying to get haydens 4th birthday party together I've barely had time to think.. I want to thank you for watching over me & Lillian during my pregnancy and keeping us both healthy and safe from all the stuff that could have gone wrong. I gave birth to a very beautiful, healthy and perfect baby girl on Nov 18th and of course I fell instantly in love with her. As this was one of the happiest days of my life my mind couldn't help but wonder if you hadn't been taken from us would we have had any children by now and who they would look like. Today as we celebrated haydens 4th birthday debbie & mark got to meet and love on my little miss Lillian, they looked so at home and natural holding and loving on her I'm so glad that Lillian will have them as part of her life. Hayden just loves playing and goofing around with uncle mark. Hayden's party went pretty good he had a great time and that's what matters to me.. we love you and I think of you often.
Two years have come and gone since you left us, I'm so very thankful for the time that god let us have you with us and I'm greatful for you showing me that real love does exist and that not everyone has bad motives. Even 2 years later sweet lil hayden still looks at the sky and says " mommy" daddy is in the stars. It amazes me that you had such a huge postive impact and he knew the love you had for him, that even at this young age he still remembers you.i think of you often and what our life together would have been like. You and our precious memories will forever be tucked away in a very special place in my heart. As I carry this precious life inside of me, I feel a sense of peace because I know you are watching over us and keeping us safe and loving us from heaven.
We miss & love you dearly♡♡♡♡♡
You've been on my mind alot lately and as my birthday approaches fast I can still recall the last birthday I spent with you we had so much fun and we laughed and danced our hearts out. It brings me joy to know that I was able to spend this precious time with you and yet at the same time it breaks my heart because our time together ended way too soon . Oh how I wish I could just see you, hold you and hear your sweet precious voice just one more time.... even tho you had nothing to do with the making of it. I know in my heart that you probably had a lil something to do with this precious gift that god has given me . Oh how I wish that god would have given you & I this sweet precious life thats keeping me up all hours of the night and making me feel like I've been hit by a train during the day... I do my best to not complain about all the lil inconveniences it's causing me because I've wanted this for so long. I pray and ask you to please watch over me thru all of this and please ask God to watch over my lil family and to let things go good and as smoothly as possible when the time comes for my precious new love to enter this world. I miss and love you dearly.....
You've been on my mind alot lately and lil hayden still looks up at the stars and says daddy's in the stars and each time my heart fills with love because he remembers you and then fills with heartbreak because your not here with us. oh how I wish things were different and you were here with us. I miss and love you always
This is our second valentine's day with out you. Just doesn't seem that long. Hayden & I visited you yesterday and left you our tokens of love.
Hope ur having a grand day in heaven. We miss and love you always..
You have been in my heart & on my mind all week, it's so hard to believe that this is your second birthday up in heaven, I know your having a grand celebration with all your loved ones there. Hayden still will look at the stars sometimes and point up and say daddy's in the stars and I just tell yes buddy daddy's in the stars watching over us. We miss and love you very much♡♡♡
Happy 37th birthday my sweet precious Angel!!!!!
We hope you had a wonderful Birthday today. You dad is still finding it very hard to accept and unable right now to write to you. I also just found out that he was unable to wish you “Merry Christmas” and he asked me if I could say it and Happy Birthday to you. I know that he thinks of you all the time and that he tells me stories of your life daily. There has been so many times during the holiday’s that we have all had to spend without you...that I have caught myself thinking it won’t be long before you called to wish Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, Happy Fathers Day, Mothers Day and more. Your dad and I have a song that we downloaded onto our computers that says it all! “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you” by Lonestar. It is now our Greg’s song and our daily fix to help comfort us to cope with your loss. I hope in time that your Daddy will be able to express himself here and I know that he is happy to know that you are wrapped in the arms of God. P.S. I know that Brandie is sure missing you too! You were her Bud! We love you and miss you! Daddy, Yvonne and Brandie
You are on my mind as we celebrate our second Christmas without you, I hope your having a great Christmas celebrating with all your loved ones in heaven. We miss and love you very much
Today is hayden's birthday and also thanksgiving and our second one without you, you've been on my mind alot today..

Telling you all the stuff that's going on and all of haydens lil achievements and all the funny things he does & says.. the kids vocabulary amazes me and he's learning more each day.. we are going to have dinner with Debbie & mark now.

Christmas 2013
Honey, it's Christmas time, I put up your tree by the piano as always, it's smaller than ours so it fits better in the space. Also I made a special wreath for you using one of your funeral wreaths that is made of wrapped branches It is made with red and gold decorations and has white lights around it. It is very pretty and Mark hunged it outside between the doors. We will use it for each Christmas as a rememberance to you. Mark and I miss and love you very much.
