Tributes
Leave a tributeThis will be ten Years! oh where has the time gone?
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
I'd put the moment in a safe,
within my heart's abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do,
I can go and open my little safe
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of
that would lift my spirits every time.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment
to cherish, save and keep
is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside.
There was room for lots of moments;
in fact, hundreds if I tried.
I'm building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through.
My little library acts as a promise.
I'll never ever forget you.
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts
The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes, you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you…
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason'
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well have been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later
May you have peace my son, love Mom.
Boy if I think back when we were always together and our birthdays came mine the 16th and yours today. We sure could stir some stuff up. As a matter of fact I think we always stirred stuff up weather in school or running the roads. The best times were at my townhouse though. I know you are watching over all of us. So until we meet again my friend Happy Birthday.

Your Cowboys would make you a proud fan! Watched the game last night with Mama in memory of your die hard, life long, loyalty to your Dallas Cowboys! you know damn well, I found it hard to route for them. But even though you werent on the couch cheering, I could still hear ya!
Your SC girls are doing fine! Justyne, Mom and I have shared so many laughs, it's hard not to pee our pants! Mama looks fabulous! and she actually feels good most of the time. (or she is good at hiding it). Justyne has come a loooong way! You'd be proud. Me, I just keeping dreaming big and making it happen. Thankful everyday that God is keeping us together, happy and healthy. Love you brother, Miss you too!
Love Sis,
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

Well Paulie it is that time of year again but this year is the big 50 as mine just passed a few days ago. I can remember some of the things we did in the 13-days from mine to yours.like the time we left the townhouse and drove into a ditch not even a mile from the house. Well we thought we could drive out of it until we knocked that fire hydrant out of the ground so we left the car there and put our HUGE cooler of beer behind that tree we thought but come to find out it was no bigger around than a twig and our bright RED cooler could be seen by all for miles. Once we walked back to the house we realized we left all our beer there so we went back to get it and the cops had arrived but they were too busy trying to stop the water so our two drunk butts grabbed the cooler and tried running up the street with it until we dropped it and beer bottles breaking and ice all over the dam street. After that we decided to just call it a night and thought we really got away with something until the next morning when the cops showed up at the house cause we left the tags on the car. I could go on and on about some of the fun we had Well its 1am so i will close for now my friend but will write again very soon. You are very much missed Love Shawn
Summer 2013-
Life is not the same without you---finding my "new normal" without you here has not been easy. My sunny days are just not as bright! and Sundays at church are always tearful. Just cant make it through that 45 minutes of worship with out thoughts of you and wishing you were there beside me singing out of tune and your leg going non-stop. I have found a new beach spot-- cant seem to go to Coral Beach without you.
You were here for two summers, 2011 and 2012. Wow it was great having my little brother to hang out with. It was even funnier when we started talking about growing old. I am mad and sometimes I get madder than a hornet, knowing you are not going to grow old with me. Love ya. Big sis.
bed-time
since my bed was moved by you and Jaci I kinda sleep in the middle of the floor now. You left sooner than we thought and no-one has moved it back, its sort of a memorial to you now, Paulie. I just get to it faster now, faster to get out of my room. your urn and pics are close by. first look in the morn and last look at nite. God knows I am so sorry for your pain that took you away. I know this because I carry it every day, hour or minutes. I love you as much now or more than I did at the start of the day, Oct.23rd. rest in peace son, love mom
