His Life

Childhood years

December 25, 2014

Honey, you were the most active child, you love playing outside and with Mark. You would get into some raucous especially with the older boys, you always held your own. I will always have good memories of you to hold onto and thankful that God brought you into my life. I was and still am very proud to have you as my son. Merry Christmas, Honey, I love and miss you, Momma

Toddler years

October 12, 2014

Just remembering you as a toddler, you always kept me busy chasing you, you were so very active, trying your best to get into things, climbing onto things, just tryng to keep you safe. Mark did such a good job watching out for his baby brother, he would also protect you. I'm remembering when you would call me telling me about lil man asking how in the world I did it with you. I'd laughed telling you that it was something a parent would do to protect their child. Seeing lil man brings back so many good memories of you as a child. I miss you so very much, Momma.10-12-2014

 

Mother's Day

April 28, 2014

Honey,mother's day is 2 wks away, I'm writing this now for I might not be able to on that day. Last year you brought lil' man and spent almost all day with me. That day will always be  with me for it will be the last with you, although you are in my heart at all times, not getting a card or hearing you say Happy Mother's Day will be very hard. I will always have my memories of you and Mark on that special day thruout the years I love and miss you,  Momma. 4-28-2014

Holidays

November 21, 2013

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, the first since you went to Heaven. It will be very hard for Mark and I but we will still have it although it will be on Saturday the 23rd because Mark has to work Thanksgiving at his 2nd job 12p - 9p. You always enjoyed the holidays for it meant being with your family and family is what you loved the most.  oh how you loved the deviled eggs, I think that was your favorite to eat, always had to make extras just for you. This year would have been your 1st with Michelle and Hayden  as your family, altough you are not here you will be in all our hearts and will be greatly missed by all.  Love Momma  11-21-2013

Getting into messes

October 14, 2013

As a toddler, you were always getting into things. One summer when you and Mark were with mammaw and pappaw, she sent me a picture of you standing in a large pool of syrup.. She had just gotten back from the grocery store and hadn't had time to put things away, she found you with a whole gallon of syrup that you got the top off, had poured it out had all over you, your hair everywhere. The pictures she sent you where standing there, you looked surprized and also you looked so cute. Momma said they had a hard time getting you and the syrup cleaned up. She said that she and Daddy laugh at the faces you would make. There are so many happy memories of you growing up. I'll cherish them as long as I remember.

Infant

October 11, 2013

Greg, you were such a happy, heathty baby,  you brought us so much joy watching your progress, as you grew I knew that you were going to do each stage of your infancy much faster than other babies. By 3 months you were starting to crawl, by 5 months you were starting to pull yourself up to stand, by 6 months you were taking steps and by 7 months you were walking on your own. The Dr.s joke that since you were a 10 month baby that you had a extra month to mature ha ha . Whatever, you did everything so much faster, I know I was there. At around 10 months I gave you a spoon to start trying to teach you on how to use it,to my surprise you fed yourself, although it was messy you fed yourself. Each day you kept getting better at it. At 18 months,I put you down for bed with a dry diaper on, the next morning it was still dry, for the next few days you would pull diaper off and use the potty chair, we didn't have to teach you to use it. My friends found it hard to believe but you did it. Oh, you probably would get mad at me for telling this part of the story but it was the truth. Well, honey, will write another chapter soon. I miss you so very much.

                                                                     Love, Momma

                                                     

 

Your birth

September 30, 2013

Honey, your Dad and I waited for a long time for your birth. The dr told us that you could come  any day before Thanksgiving, I called your Mammaw and she came down to be with your brother. Well Thanksgiving came and went, next dr visit it was still anyday, we took each week as anyday now, Christmas came thinking we could have a Christmas baby, that went by, next it was Mammaw's birthday, then it was New Years Day that went by, next your uncle's birthday and finally the big day came, we had a big healthy baby boy that the pediatrician said you were a 10 month baby. From that day forward you brought me nothing but pride and joy, you were well worth the extra wait. Love Momma
