This is Kaitlyn I am now 12 but in a few months, I will be 13. I have been praying to you and God for so long. Recently I asked Jesus into my heart and he saved me. So, now I know I will see you one day. Mama died a few years ago, and Cookie is in a better home with some elders that are taking great care of her.
Love,
Kaitlyn Backburn
It's been so long since I've even been on here. So much has happened, Momma (Mimi) died June 24, 2017. About a week or two after she turned 64, she had a good life though, she was loved, and appreciated. I miss you both so much, I dream about having y'all's arm's around me again. Kaitlyn and Taylor are doing good, their coping. It's crazy to think that it's been 7 years since you passed. The girls and I are living with a family friend named Gina, we love her and she loves us. We have a brother, that's the same age as me, his name is Logan, he's pretty awesome. I love and miss you so much, words can't even explain it. We haven't heard from Haleigh since she left Alabama, about after Momma's memorial service. When you died, I had a lot of questions, some that will never be answered, when Momma died, I discovered the answers to some of those questions. But, receiving answers and explanations, also usually comes with more questions, at least in my case it does. We have a new life, we must live in the present and now the past, we must trust in the Lord our God, because he has a plan, whether we understand it or not, but it's whether we choose to follow his path, and trust in him, determine the end. I thank the Lord everyday for blessing my family and I for having each other and the amazing people that have come into our lives along the Journey. I honestly don't know what life would be like without the amazing people I am so blessed to have and know in my life. I pray everyday that God will show me the plans he has for me and that he will take care of our family and bless them. I love you Daddy, forever and always!
Love,

I know I haven't wrote to you in a while, I love you so much and I miss,we all do. I'm now 11 years old, it's been 6 years since you passed and went to a better place in Heaven, but it feels like it happened yesterday. I feel like no one in the world feels or knows how I feel, Daddy I love and miss you so words can't even explain! I wish you were her even for just 5 second, I would do anything in the world to be able to wrap my arms around you and to say I love and wish Momma could and Kaitlyn and Taylor and the whole family. We all love and miss you so much words can't even explain. What they did to you was wrong Daddy, I promise with all my hart I will give you justice no matter what it takes. Tonight I pray that the Lord will bring you justice and that one day we will all be together when the Lord needs us. My Prayer is... Dear Heavenly Father God, tonight I come to you in Prayer that you will bless this family and Lord I try my best not to ask you for to much, but please Lord Heavenly Father I pray to you that Me, Kaitlyn, & Taylor's Daddy will get Justice and that Mimi(Momma) will get Justice for her son, Raleigh Dodson Blackburn.
-Amen
I love and miss every second my heart beats. I wish you where here. I feel like my life has fallen apart without you. I love you so much.<3

We didn't even see it coming, never got to say goodbye, never got to pray to the Lord that all would be okay and that you would live to an old man. You left to soon, you were so kind, caring and loving and one of the nicest men in the world. You were the best father, no matter how hard I try not to think about your death I just can't stop thinking about it. I think about you every second my heart beats and more, I love and miss you so much. It's so hard seeing other little girls with their Dads, having fun, laughing, hugging, having a good time, but what hurts the most is not being able to look at you and hug you and say I love you Daddy and seeing my little sisters growing up without a father and knowing that the people who killed you are free. I love and miss you so much.

To soon
We never got to say our goodbyes. You left us to soon. We where devstated by your death. We never exspected that life would be so short for you. Knowing you where nolonger on Earth, but that your spirit was near our hearts. Even though we miss you teribly we want your spirit to be free and not trappped in our grief. So lay grace and piece over you and let your spirit go to Heaven and enjoy the beautity of Heaven itself.
Love Your Doughter,

We didn't get to say goodbye
We're devastated that you're gone
We would have done anything to keep you here with us
Right here is where you belong
We didn't know that life would take
Such an unexpected path
That you'd be separated from us so soon
Heartbreaking reality we struggle to grasp
And bitter though our losing you has been
And so profound is the pain that we bear
We're sadder still at no chance for goodbye
No final expression of our deep love and care
Yet believing that you're not too far away
That your Spirit still lingers quite near
We'll say our goodbyes in our words and our thoughts
Trusting that each one you'll hear
First, know that you were loved in the truest of ways
So deep that only our hearts can give expression
You'll be forever surrounded by our love
For we're sending it straight up to Heaven
Please know that you'll be cherished by each one of us
For your example and kindness we'll treasure
We understand now how your life was a gift
That was meant to bless us forever
And though we'll miss you terribly
We want your Spirit to be free
Free to enjoy all the wonders of Heaven
Not bound to us in our grief
So watch over us with happiness from Heaven ..."
