Miss you Dad. I wish you were here. This never gets easier. My heart still breaks. I hope you and Mom are enjoying this day. I love you.

Happy Anniversary! Wow 56 years today. I know you and Mom are so happy yo spend this one together. We miss you both so very much. Wish I could call and tell you. You know my heart. I love you both.

Hi Dad, Happy Easter. I hope you cant see see just how much it sucks down here. Our family isn't the same. You and Mom are missed beyond words. I hope you enjoy this day with Mom and Jesus. 2 empty chairs...its a void that is felt all around. Missing you and Mom. We love you.

42 months today. I still cant wrap my head around it. Were selling the house Dad. We had no choice. But I want you to know you made a very sound investment. You were right. It's a great home with a big return. You should be so proud. Its almost Easter. This is our first holiday without Mom but your first with Mom in such a very long time. What a great holiday to celebrate together with Jesus. We miss you both so very much. It wont be the same with two empty chairs. But you both will definitely be missed. We love you so much.

41 months, I cant believe it. I hope you and Mom are at peace together once more. We miss you both. I still cant wrap my head around you both being gone. We are trying to get the house in gear to be sold. I think you both should would be proud of how its turning out. I miss you Dad. So much stuff going on. Scary stuff. Inflation, war you name it. Whisper in Gods ear for us down here. We love you.

Hi Dad, it's been 40 months since you left us. Everything changed when you did. Now Mom is with you and I know how happy you must be. But for us here, it's been a real heart breaking and challenging time. It feels like everything is off, and it just keeps getting worse. Whisper a prayer in God ears for us, please. This world has gone crazy. We miss you so much. Wish I could hear you tell me, it will work out...I love you Dad.

Happy Birthday Dad, I hope you and Mom are having a glorious day together. Just know we love and miss you both so much. I love you.... till we meet again.

Yesterday was 39 months. I'm guessing this day was filled with love and laughter, now that you and Mom are together. Kiss her for me. Tell her we love her and miss her. Miss you Dad. We love you.

I can only imagine the reunion that you and Mom had. I know you were the one that God sent to bring Mom home. Take good care of her. I know you will, you always did. She missed you so much. Without you she was so sad and lonely despite everything we tried. I'm so going to miss her but I know how happy she was to be with you again. That is what brings me the most comfort. I love you both so very much. Until we meet again. Tell her I love her. And give each other a big hug and kiss from me.

Happy New Year Dad. It's not started out too well. Mom, all of Sissy family and Keatons gf Caroline have covid. As well as Randy's niece. If you could whisper in Gods ear a prayer for them all we would be ever so grateful. Missing you bad. We love you.

Happy New years eve Dad, we miss you and love you. Hopefully 2022 will be a better year.

Merry Christmas Dad, you were thought of all day. Did you hear us laughing and remembering you? Thanks for all those wonderful memories that will forever be locked in my heart and soul. I love and miss you

Merry Christmas eve Dad. Hope your enjoying it with your mom, dad, family, and Jesus. We miss you down here. It's not the same without you. My memories keep flooding back of all us being together tonight. Oh how wonderful it would be to have that again this year. I love you Dad.

Hi Dad, it's been 38 months since you left. We decorated cookies, ornaments and made handprints with the grandbabies. I felt such a sadness when "I'll be home for Christmas " came on. Oh how I wish, I could turn back time and see you once more. I miss you. I love you Dad.

Happy Thanksgiving Dad. We missed you bad today. Tried to make it a good one but nothing is the same without you. Hope you enjoyed your day with Jesus. We love you so much.

Just missing you. We love you so much.

Thirtyseven months, man this month flew by. Seems like I just posted about 3 years. My birthday was the other day, missed hearing your sweet voice calling me. Know I thought about you all day. Now just gotta get through Mom's birthday and Thanksgiving this month. Miss you Dad. Oh how I wish I could talk to you. I love you more. 

Here we are again. 3 years, wow is all I can say. We miss you so much Dad, especially mom today. Hope you know how much your loved. Till we meet again, we will be loving you.

Today was a rough day. You were on my mind all day. My mind keeps going back to this time 3 years ago. The day I had to come to terms that you would soon be leaving us. I still blame myself. I signed those papers. I hope you don't hold it against me. I did what I thought was best for you. I couldn't stand to see you suffer anymore. Yes its as fresh as it was then. I'm sorry Dad if I let you down. That was the last thing I ever wanted to do. I really thought that God was going to perform a miracle again like he had so many times before. But he took you home to be with him. And the hole in my heart is still as deep as it was the day you left. These next few days are the worst. I relive them all, over and over. We miss you so much. I love you more than you'll ever know. 

Yesterday was 20 years since 911. I half way expected something to happen . Thank God nothing did, well as far as I know. But today makes 35 months of us losing you. It's not good here, so much going on. Covid 19 mutations, many dated vaccines..you name it. Even tho I missed you terribly, I wouldn't want you to be here. I love you and Miss you so much. I just hope you know how much.

Happy heavenly Memorial day Dad. You are missed and very much loved.

Here we are again. It's been 34 months since you were taken home. As much as we miss you, and we all do so very much, I'm so glad you dont have to deal with all the stuff going on down here. Its heart breaking Dad. This country is in a sad state. Mom is doing ok. She still misses you so very much and she has her days of crying. But shes turned alot around and has everything in order the way it should be, including getting a good running car that shes pd cash for. I think you would be so proud of her. Anyway, this day is always hard. I miss you more than I can ever express. I think of you often every day. I love you Dad. I hope you know how much.

Hi Dad, just thinking about you. Haven't had alot of time lately with everything going on but want you to know we miss you so much. I listen to the voicemail you sent. It makes me smile to hear your voice. It's almost like you are still here. But your not . I love you

Sorry dad, things have been crazy here. Randy's been pretty sick and the days got away from me. I may not have posted but you are forever on my mind. You have been gone for 33 months. Seems like yesterday. Missing you. We love you.

Happy 4th of July Dad! We miss you especially on days like today. Love you

Hi Daddy, memorial day was yesterday, but we celebrated it on Sunday. Thought about you all day. I know you were watching from above. We missed you. Funny how everything reminds me of you. It triggers memories off the little things we miss most. Like how much you enjoyed broccoli and cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.  You are sorely missed. We love you.

You have been on my mind all day. Do you hear me when I talk to you??? Somehow, I know you do. Missing you bad. Wish I could talk to you in person . Love you Dad.

Happy Belated 55th Anniversary Dad. Sorry it took me a few days to post. The 30th was a hard day for Mom. She was missing you bad today. 55 years is along time. We celebrated with her,  and went and bought flowers for her to try to cheer her up.  She also had a doctors appointment. I'm sure you know all about it. We are taking good care of her Dad so don't worry about her ok. Just know we miss you more than words can ever describe. We Love you

My mind keeps going to the Easter after your 1st surgery. You were so proud and excited to be walking again. Walking up and down the sidewalk. That memory is burned in my mind forever. Happy Easter Dad! We love you.

Dad, your going to be meeting a very dear friend. She was our beloved pet and her name is Daisy. She is the sweetest thing. Please take good care of her till we meet again. Youll love her, and i know shell take care of you as well. We Love and miss you constantly.

Hi Dad. I cant believe you have been gone for 29 months. Seems like yesterday , but again it feels like forever since we talked. Missing you. Till we meet again. I love you.

Dad, Missing you. Been thinking about you all day. Wish I could talk to you. So much going on. Some good but some bad. You have another great grandbaby. Her name is Kaylee Jenelle Marie. She was born 1/11/2021 @ 10:55 pm. She was 6# 3oz and was 20" long. She's beautiful Dad. She looks alot like Ej but I so see sis in her. She's such a blessing. I wonder if God allowed you to meet her in heaven before she was born. Covid still on the rampage. But we have so blessed by not getting it especially Mom. Were trying to keep her safe. I really miss you. I wouldnt bring you back to this mess but oh how I'd love yo talk to you. I love you Dad.

Just wanted you to know that soon you'll have another great grandbaby. It's a girl! Sis is at the hospital right now. Ask God to watch over both of them for me. Miss you but love you more.

Happy New Year Dad! Missing you. We let 2020 leave thru the front and allowed 2021 to come in. Praying for a better year. Love you.

Merry Christmas Dad. I know your celebrating Jesus birth in heaven with all your loved ones and with the Jesus himself. Just know you are so missed today. Especially yesterday, when that was our day that we celebrated together. Missing you,.. always. We love you.

Dad, sorry I am late.  Not that I wasn't thinking of you, just so much on my plate. Alot going on, just saddness really. I wish you were here to talk to. I miss having you always there for me. Here I am be selfish again... me.. me ... me. I do miss you so much. I dreamt about you the other night. You were here... and I gave you a big hug. Guess I needed that. its been 26 months and seems like a lifetime ago and yesterday at the same time. Miss you. Love you.

Happy Thanksgiving Dad. Miss seeing you at the dinner table. I know how much you loved this holiday. Your place is always there.. and it will stay empty...just waiting for us to be reunited again. Love you so much. Enjoy your day with Jesus.

Today is Moms birthday. She's missing you so much but today is even harder. You always went above and beyond for her birthday. It wasnt about the presents, it was about the fact you made sure to celebrate her. We all miss you love and kindness Dad. Nothing is the same without you.

Missing you. So much going on here. So glad you dont have to deal with it. I miss our talks. I could always come to you and you always had words of wisdom for me. I hope you can hear me when I talk to you. Love you Daddy.

Missing you today. Love you.

Been thinking about you. I cant believe its been 2 years since you left. Feels like yesterday. Through all the sadness I'm so grateful you dont have to endure what's happening all around us. I miss you Dad. Wish I could wrap my arms around you and hug you so tight. Forever in my thoughts. I love you.

Its been 23 months... Missing you and Love you Always. Love you Dad

Tomorrow is Labor Day. Another holiday, that we shared playing bags, laughing and enjoying our family. I know I keep saying this but things are so not what they used to be. I go, I interact, but there is a empty void that cant be filled, because you're no longer there. Missing you Dad. I just hope you know how much your missed and loved. This day is for you for working so hard through out your life. Happy Labor Day.

Found myself looking at the time. I now know why. Its been 22 months since God called you home. We miss you Dad, so very much. But its crazy down here, and the fact you don't have to go through any of it , brings me some comfort. But the fact still remains, every month on this day, my heart aches because all those memories fill my head of the day God called you home. I love you Dad. I hope you know how much.

Today it's been 21 months. Seems like yesterday. Your missed so much. I can't believe it's almost been 2 years since I've seen you. Your always on my mind, with every event, or even just a normal day. I wish you were here so I could talk to you once more. I love you Dad.

Today has been an emotional day for me. That's what happens when you're pregnant, I suppose. But I dreamed of you this morning. Which is unusual because generally, I don't dream. We didn't speak and it was far too brief. For a split second, I was in the house on English Street, glancing through the glass doors and there you were, plaid shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots, working on something --I don't even know what-- on the porch. You didn't see me or I'm sure you would have acknowledged me. But you seemed focused and at peace, working on whatever project it was. And it made me happy to see you so content. I don't know if it was a memory or simply a dream, but it left me missing you so badly on this Father's day. I love you, and I hope I get to see you again soon, if only in my dreams for a while.❤

HI Dad, yesterday was 20 months since you've been gone. I had every intention on writing to you but time got away from me. But you were on my mind and I was missing you. I hope you hear me when i talk to you. Sorry. I was trying to get stuff straight and it just flew by. But on a good note..Mom didnt cry today when we talked about your passing. Of course she was sad and you seen it in her eyes. But no tears...well, that i seen anyways. We do miss you. Your forever in our thoughts. We love you.

Hi Dad,  We had memorial day on the 25th and again, you were on my mind all day. I kept meaning to write to you, but I guess this was one of those days that I couldn't bring myself to talk about things. 

Curtis graduated from High School on the 24th. Its a mess down here, its so different now. If you were here you would not believe it. Curtis missed out on the 2nd semester of his HS senior year. They closed the schools in March and they never started again. They may not even start in the fall.  All schools were closed because of the coronavirus aka Covid-19. It was for our safety... well that's what they pushed anyhow.

Anyway, my heart broke for him, Logan and all the seniors. They missed out on Prom, Senior skip day, the Senior Trip, you know just the normal every day of Senior year. But then it came to graduation. And our Governor decided to extend the shut in and graduation became no more. They were even talking about a "Virtual" graduation. Thank God that didn't happen. Our kids (In Pontiac) were allowed to graduate but it was by car. 

We were allowed 2 cars for us and family members. We had to wait in line and then when it was his turn we drove up to the drop off and he got out of the car. He walked to the stage, as his name was called and picked up a diploma binder (had to go back the next day to get actual diploma), stop on the "X" and have his picture taken. Then walk along the walkway to the front of the school where we picked him up. They tried to make it decent for the kids. It just was so fast... I took me a few minutes after to realize my baby boy graduated. And he graduated with honors. You would have been so proud of him. I know I was. But again, you were so terribly missed. We took pictures of him and the family and my eyes swelled up. My mind went back to his 8th grade graduation when you were there by his side. The family tried to make it special for him they really did. And it meant so much. But we were definitely missing something. We were missing you.

As I was helping him put on his cap and gown I broke down. I was so proud of the young man he has become but I was heartbroken you were not here to celebrate. I told Curtis, "I miss him".... and he said, "So do I".. he hugged me and I tried to pull myself together.

Mom was here and helped to celebrate but like the rest of us, she had a space in heart that was empty and sad.  I hope you were watching from heaven and could feel without a doubt just how much you are missed and loved. I love you Dad. Wish I could tell you just how much. 

HI Dad, the 12th of the month has really become a stumbling block for me. It's been 19 months since you were called home. So much is going on here..you would be astonished. This virus going on is something else. Curtis should be graduating but because of this virus we have to do a drive thru graduation. We'll take it because it's so much better than virtual graduation. I don't know what's going on with this world. Everyone has gone crazy. There are only a few that are allowed to work and the rest of us are in shelter In place mode. The nursing home you were in had 31 people test positive. I'm so glad your not there, I don't think I'd be sane. Family can't see their parents, no visitors. It's rather sad and my heart breaks for all of them. As much as I miss you I'm truly grateful you don't have to endure all this mess. I do miss you so much. The days are hard without you. Some are harder than others. Your always in my heart and on my mind. I love you.

Hi. It's been a while since I've written and I'm sorry for that. After a long string of crappy luck, we finally received some good news. The best. And I really wish I could call and share it with you. I can hear it in my head, any number of the possible responses you would say. "Well, I'll be." Or "Did you hear that Granny? Tootsie said..."
I wish you could be here.
I love you and miss you every day.
