What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.

I am blessed to have an Uncle like him in my life. I miss his double thumbs up when I would update him about anything in life. He was the type who never say anything negative but to encourage others. Most importantly, I sure miss his teasing and laughter. Miss you Uncle John!

I don't think there are to many sisters who can say that their brother was also their friend. Through thick and thin,good and bad.He was there. No judging, just loving. An advice giver and a listener. I miss our talks, and practical jokes and his silly grin. Loved always....

I just had to laugh at this picture! Took me back into memory of their humor and smile. Always wondered what it would be like to still have these two with us today but knowing we got good memories to still make them feel like they're here with us today ;)

So I guess I never realized that when you passed away it didn't only effect me, and mom, and all the many adults that love and care about you, but it also effected Carter and Colton.
I took Carter to the doctor today to be tested for ADD or ADHD and as the nurse was asking me all kinds of questions I realized that his behavior has gotten terrible since you passed. He is angry and emotional and just not the same easy going fun loving kid he used to be. His doctor suggested I take him to counseling, so I'm going to try to talk to him as much as i can to see what's going on inside his little head. So we were talking before he went to school today and I asked him what he thinks about Papa. He said "I love him and miss him and I wish he would come back" How could I he so selfish this past year thinking about how much my life has changed, and how much I love and miss you when my 5 year old son is going thru the exact same thing and ur doesn't know how to express it so he behaves badly??? How could I not know???
And then last night when Colton's grandma dropped Carter and Colton off I was telling het about my concerns about Carter. And she was talking about how Carter was asking her where her ex went and he kept changing the way he was asking and Colton actually told him to shut up. Not to ask questions about him. So here Carter is acting out and Colton is supressing everything. We were talking about how every man just walks out of their lives. And I'm just like, this is all my fault that my boys have these serious emotional scars and they're only 5 and 4. What a horrible mother it makes me feel like!
But this is my promise to you and to my 3 sons, Carter, Colton, and Camden. I will make their lives better. I promise to do everything I can to every hurt them or disappoint you or them ever again!!!
Our Thanksgivings
November 24, 2011

We were never a big fan of turkey. John especially did not like it at all. One year he came up with the ideal to do a different nationality for our thanksgiving. We have done chinese, mexican, Italian, and greek. It turned out to be a pretty good thing. each one of us would pick a dish and cook it here, if it turned out that was good. If it didn't well we didn't do that again. The kids really enjoyed this, and it set new traditions for us. It was funny to us because people would say, " what are you doing for Thanksgiving" , and when we would tell them we would sometimes get the "look". Those who knew John knows that he did not follow the crowd when it came to anything. He did his own thing. I love that so much about him. he was his own person. He didn't feel the need to impress anyone. he was who he was, if you didn't like it oh well, your loss. What a wonderful person.
I am so thankful today for him being a part of the kids and my life. and for him to allow us to be apart of his. What a ride, What a life. With the holidays here, and thoughts, and memories of him it is very hard to get through them. He left his mark on so many people that he touched. If you were lucky enough to have know John, you know this. I hope everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving, and carries some fond memories of my John with you today. Love Donna
