7 years ago you left us in a hurry and unfortunately time has not slowed down since. I think about how much we have all experienced and how much our kids have changed in 7 years. It makes me so incredibly sad to not have you here physically to be a part of our new memories. I hope you are at peace and are enjoying watching over these amazing grandkids of yours. You created and nurtured a wonderful group of souls. Even though you left without a goodbye I hope you knew how much we loved you and appreciated you!

Miss you and I wish I could have one more birthday with you to show you how incredible you are and how much we love you. Enjoy your day up there, we miss you like crazy down here! I love you.

I'm really missing you today. Last night Abbey had a softball game and it made me realize that you won't be able to see any of Jaxons sport events & it really made me sad because you were always our biggest(and loudest =) ) fan in the stands.

Tonight

September 15, 2013

Hey Mom, I'm having a tough night tonight without you. So much is going on right now that I just wish I could tell you about and get an answer and your input! I was listening to my ipod and this song came on and it always makes me think of you and it's comforting in some way to know that when I miss you I can look in the sky and know the stars are holding you tonight. Ilove you mom and I miss you so much!

Tonight by FM Static
I remember the times we spent together all those drives, we had a million questions all about our lives and when we got to New York everything felt right I wish you were here with me, Tonight
I remember the days we spent together, were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming except we always woke up, never thought not having you here now Would hurt so much
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up I need your loving hands to come and pick me up and every night I miss you I can just look up and know the stars are holding you, holding you, holding you Tonight
I remember the time you told me about when you were eight and all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait I remember the car you were last seen in and the games we would play all the times we spilled our coffees and stayed out way too late
I remember the time you sat and told me about your Jesus, and how not to look back Eeven if no one believes us when it hurts so bad, sometimes not having you here
I sing tonight I've fallen and I can't get up I need your loving hands to come and pick me up and every night I miss you I can just look up and know the stars are holding you, holding you, holding you Tonight

Prom

April 28, 2013

Zach went to his Junior Prom on Friday. It's very different out here or maybe it's just that going through it from the boy's perspective is different. I don't know. It just made me think of you - taking me to look for dresses, doing my hair, ordering the flowers, taking pictures, helping make the windsor loins with cherry sauce for the banquet, and coordinating stuff for the Post Prom Party. I wish you were here. It's hard not being able to have a conversation with you about these big moments.

Thanksgiving 2012

November 22, 2012

Today I am most thankful for DREAMS -

Where I still get to hear your laugh, smell your perfume, feel your hugs, and have just one more conversation. Where I still have hope that I can somehow fix it and find a way to make it untrue.

I love you, Mom!
