Ma, it’s been 16 years today that we had to say good-bye to you. That was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I miss you every second of every day. Jonathon and Colten miss you a lot and we wished Hudson could have met you but I promise you that Colten and I will make sure he knows who you are and how much you would have loved him.

Ma at 11 am today it will be 15 years since you left us. You are missed terribly every moment of every day. Colten has been telling Hudson all about you, he shares stories with him. I wished you could have met Hudson, he is a blessing in our family. I thrive every day to be the grandma to him that you were to my boys. I want Hudson to have special memories to hold on to when my time on earth is complete. We will never forget you and never stop loving you.

Ma it's been 14 years today since you left us brokenhearted. We miss you just as much today as the moment you left us. Kenny Knox and I are back together and will be getting married soon .Jonathon and Colten are doing great ,and your sweet great-grandson Hudson would steal your heart if you were here. I passed your old Trunk on to Hudson for his 3rd birthday ,I made a toybox out of it for him so he'd always have a piece of you.I love you Ma and you will be forever in my heart.

Happy 75th Birthday Ma ,wow its hard to believe you've been gone for so long and have missed so many moments that you should have been here for. I am now a 50 year old ( how did that happen,lol ) , Jonathon celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday and Colten will be 29 in a couple months. Your adorable little great-grandson Hidson will be 3 in a couple months and he's such a little blessing to our family, so much of his personality and features look just like Colten. Kenny is back in my life after 35 years and he and I are restoring your wooden Trunk that you used to let the boys sleep on when they spent the night with you, we are restoring it and making it a toy chest for Hudson so he'll always have a part of you.Colten and I will make sure that Hudson will know who you are and how important you are to all of us. I love and miss you Ma ,just as much today as that Sunday morning you left us so many years ago.

Well Ma here it is another one of your Birthdays without you here with us but forever in our hearts and memories. Jonathon is now 30 as of yesterday,hard to believe . He still cherishes the fact that he was your birthday present 30 years ago just as I was your Christmas present 49 years ago. Colten will be 28 this year and he's doing a great job of being a Daddy to your great-grandson Hudson. Ma I wished you could have met Hudson he's such an adorable little boy who will be 2 years old already this year. I love you Ma and I miss you every day.

Happy Birthday Ma wow I can't believe you would be 73 today. I still miss you and love you just as much today as I did the moment your heart stopped beating. I wished you could have met your new great grandson Hudson he's such a blessing to be such a tiny person but Colten will make sure he knows you because he even made his nursery theme Elephants in memory of you. I love you Ma now and forever.

Happy Birthday Ma another year has passed pushing you farther away in our memory of what it was like to have you here with us. I miss you every single day and you are always in my thoughts..Ma I am about to become a Grandmother for the first time.Colten is going to be a Daddy:) He asked me the other day what did I want to be referred to toward his child?After I thought about it I told him "Grandma" would be fine with me because that title always brought you so much joy and if it was good enough for you then it's good enough for me. I wished you were here to share in this joyous time but God needed you there.I love you Ma..

Happy Birthday In heaven mama, I think about you every day, What I would do to have one more day to sit on your porch and have coffee with you and just talk about anything and every thing, or to go for a walk with you along the tracks so you could tell me all about the trees, the plants, and animals, I took so much for granted while you were on this earth. and oh how I miss you. I love that you visit me in my dreams. at least there I can still hug you <3 I know one day I will see you again.

Hit by a Mack Truck
June 11, 2016
I thought I would share a funny little story that involved a 6 year old Mack Truck by the name of Colten Millard. My son's and I had spent the day with Ma "thrifting" .
We had spent most of the day with her shopping ,eating lunch just having fun.By the time we returned to her house, Colten , Jonathon and I had to use the restroom really bad.Thankfully Ma had 2 restrooms in her house, so Jonathon went to the downstairs restroom and that was when Colten and I both raced for the upstairs restroom. Grandma (Ma) decided to block Colten so I would beat him to the restroom,only Grandma wasn't counting on the force and strength in that little 6 year old boy; she stepped out in front of him after I passed up the stairs and he ran in to her so hard that he knocked her off her feet. Colten instantly felt bad and was asking Grandma if she was ok ,and Grandma was laughing so hard she could hardly speak.She said she that was like being hit by a little Mack Truck,lol
