Merry Christmas in Heaven, Scott. I hope there's celebration with family there. Christmas has changed for everyone through the years, but 1 thing that hasn't changed is our memories of you and the emptiness we all feel. You have missed so much that I know would have brought you joy. But this day and everyday we carry your memory with us. God bless you and may you visit in spirit. I love you, Son, my shining star.  "Ma"

Today we had our Thanksgiving gathering. It was small but enjoyable. I wish you were here to share it with us. Heather got text from Trinity saying she will visit sometime during Christmas.  I am going to J's for Christmas and hope I won't miss her visit as we haven't seen Mateo, your grandson, in person yet. I hope you can send a sign to let me know you're near as I miss you so very much! Take care and know you are loved. "Ma"

It's your birthday! Alot of memories are surfacing today. They are what keeps me here. I saw an ad for the Lone Star Rally in Galveston this weekend and I remembered it was always your birthday treat to yourself to attend the rally. 
It's hard to think of you being 48 today if you were here and being a granddad twice! You are remembered by many and it is reflected in your grandson's name, Mateo Salvadore-Scott Perez and your nephew, Levi Scott Hommel.
Sending birthday love to you and hoping you're looking down and smiling. I love you, Son! Happy Heavenly Birthday!

It's 12 years today. For those people who think it has to be easier by now, it isn't. How can losing a child, regardless of age, be easy? On this day I relive that day from the moment I get up. I'm always still hoping that it was a nightmare I haven't woke up from, but when realization sets in, my heart hurts and I know I have to get through this day for others. Today was odd because it was also Easter. The celebration of Christ rising from the tomb. Yet I'm saddened by the loss of my son.
I'm glad I can still picture him with his smile and hear his laughter. I don't ever want to forget those.
We added to the memorial site and had a Shiner in his memory and even shared stories of him, so it ended better than it began. I love you, Scott, my Shining Star! Stay close.  "Ma"

Happy Valentine's Day, Son. I wish you were here to feel the love I have for you, still and forever. I'm working on a few things to add to your memorial on the 11th anniversary of losing you. I try to create a few things instead of buying things already made. I hope it brings more love to your site. My heart is filled with love, memories, and still sadness for you. But I'm stronger because I have God and the promise of eternal life and know someday in the near future, I will be where you are and there will be eternal love, no more sadness. I pray you are with family as there are so many of them who have passed. Send me a sign if you can that you have received my Valentine wishes. 
Much love always, "Ma"

Merry Christmas, Son. I swear you woke me up at 5:30 am by plopping on the couch and saying "wake up it's Christmas!" Then you looked at me and said "Mom, I love you." I sat up but you weren't there but those words made my Christmas and I will forever hold them in my heart. I know you are where you wanted to be and there are so many family and friends there with you, plus the beauty, peace and wonderment of God, so I am happy for you. We all miss your presence here with us and will forever remember you and keep you in our hearts. I love you, my "shining star."    "Ma"

It's Christmas Eve.  I am at Justin and Kayla's apt. in Alvin to spend Christmas with them and her son, Haedyn. They are having a baby boy, Levi, in June. I am hoping on my birthday! Justin is doing well in life. You would be proud of him. I am. I don't get to see him often enough, but that's part of being a parent to adult children, yet in my mind you are all still my babies.
I miss your holiday calls, your laughter, and I miss family gatherings, but most of all, I miss you, Son. I love you.    "Ma"

My Son: I hope there's a celebration in Heaven for you today.  (#47) I was blessed the day you were born. I gathered memories as each day passed and tucked them safely away in my heart. Now I can use those memories to remember the happiness you brought into my life, remember the way you touched others lives, see your smile, remember you as a brother, a dad, and a talented artist. I still feel the emptiness you left in my life, but the memories slowly fill in that space. I love you, Scott. I miss you. You will forever be my "Shining Star."
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY.

Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

When a man loses a wife, he's a widower.
When a woman loses a husband, she's a widow. When a child loses his parents, he's an orphan. When a mother loses a child, there is no word for that. That's how bad the pain is!

Even 11 years can't remove the deep feeling of loss. Memories are the greatest gift for times like this. I love you, Son and will always remember the years we had together.      "Ma"

New Year's Day, 2021
Everyone seems to think life will change for the better now that 2020 is over. We still have a way to go and soon we will adjust to new leadership with Pres. Joe Biden. My life, regardless, has settled into a waiting game. There's not much for me to do in life. I try to interact with family and get them to do the same, but everyone is too busy and unconcerned. I am very aware of your absence and I know I will feel it for the remainder of my life. I miss you. I miss the me I used to be. I miss the granddaughters you gave me. I hold tight to what was and am sad for what would have been. I send love and prayers to Heaven for you and pray you will send signs to me that let me know you are near. Here's to another year of adjustment without you. Forever my shining star. I love you, Scott. "Ma"

It's Christmas Eve, 2020
This has been a terrible year for so many because of covid-19. Luckily none of our family have suffered health-wise, but there have been many who have had a tough time financially and work-wise. It's still not over. This could last into 2021!
Holidays have been affected. Families are asked to not gather. Money for gifts is tight. There's more families then ever who need help with food. It's sad. And when there are so many family members and friends already passed, my heart is full of sadness. I miss you, Son. No amount of time will ever fill the void you left. I hope you can send me signs that you are near and help me smile when I notice them. You are in my daily prayers and tucked away in my heart. I love you! Merry Christmas. You are so blessed to be there with God. You are still my "shining star ".        "Ma"

This year I came to spend Thanksgiving with Justin and his new wife, Kayla. The food they made was delightful. We watched the Texans beat the Lions. J lives only a few miles from Ed now, so I also got to see him. I got Thanksgiving wishes from your girls. Heather is having her dinner tomorrow with Ashley and her family. I will stay here until next Sunday. Covid 19 has changed the holiday alot. We still have months ahead of dealing with it. The one thing that hasn't changed is feeling your absence. I love you, Son and will forever miss you and hold you in my heart.  "Ma"

Happy Birthday, Son. It's been (46) years since your birth! What a marvelous day that was! I still remember the dr. coming in and saying you had quite a set of lungs on you, but he didn't know what you were fussing about because you had your own "little harem" in the nursery as you were the only boy amongst (5) girls! The mayor of Houston sent me a certificate declaring Nov 4, 1974 as "Scott Hommel Day." It was evident you were destined to be special and loved as you still are to this very day and always!  I miss you.     "Ma"

Today your brother got married. I wish you were here to share in this event. It took 33 years for him to find a life partner, but I really think this will be a good marriage and that she will fit very well into our family. You have missed so much and we notice that void. You are forever in our hearts and on our minds. God keep you! 
Love forever, "Ma"

Father's Day, 2020
Another special day to remind me your gone. The girls would love to celebrate with you, but you gave them no choice. I get a bit angry on these type of days and it doesn't lessen the love I have or the pride I still carry for you. It's the choice you made without reaching out that angers me. I know you must have felt you had to be alone or it wouldn't happen. You did this for YOU because you couldn't see an answer to the future with what you were facing. I kinda get that, but kids need fathers who care, love and protect and you were all of that. Happy Father's Day, Son. You remain in our hearts.   "Ma"

Son, your first born is 17 today! It's really hard to grasp that. She is an amazing young lady. You would be proud! She is about to begin driving. She is busy, busy with school and life, just like her Aunt Heather was at that age. She and Tristin are to come visit the first part of June. It seems like forever since we saw them! I hope you are smiling down on her as a proud dad, this day and always . I love you and miss you!    "Ma"

Today is Mother's Day! I missed you. I remember you and Heather competing to be the first to wish me Happy Mother's Day. I miss that. Overall it was a nice day. I have alot of happy memories to help me get thru this day. Tristin texted me and that helped too. Jaden was here as well. I was proud to be your mom and I'm thankful for my children. Life takes us in all directions and if a few times a year we can just connect and reminisce, then life is good. Smile down on us and let us feel your presence.  I love you, Son!   "Ma"

10 years! Why do I count time when it has stood still since the day you died? I don't miss you any more or any less because time has passed  I can bring back the feelings of that day in a flash. The disbelief, the sadness, the loss, the horror of those words, the question of why. No matter of time will erase that day and what I had to face and accept, so why do I keep track of lost time? I should focus more on the time we had. The memories of laughter, family, accomplishments, celebrations and dreams. I thought you had your own piece of life and things were good. You never shared that "dark place" that eventually took you from us. But my pride and love remains always. You will forever be a part of me and remain my "shining star". I love you, Son......"Ma"

Trinity is going to the Dominican Republic this summer for a week with a church group. I don't hear from them unless I text 1st and then it's a quick answer. But they are both doing well, achieving! My heart still misses you, tears still flow. I love you, Son!   "Ma"

Christmas 2019, nine years without you and it still feels like yesterday. Each year that passes I'm more and more disinterested. There's no gathering of immediate family anymore. As soon as Christmas Day ends, everyone is on to the next holiday. Although I have 3 sons, I won't see any of them, life gets in the way.
But my heart is full of love and memories of you and that's the gift I treasure. No one knows what Heaven is really like or if you meet with those who have passed, but it's comforting to think so. I miss you and I miss the "me" I was when you were here. Merry Christmas, Son! Love, "Ma"

"WHY"
EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY THE DAYS GO SLOWLY BY, AND THE HARDEST THING TO COPE WITH IS NEVER KNOWING WHY...
THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND MAYBE NEVER WILL, QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED, NOW YOUR VOICE IS STILL.
TO LOSE YOU WAS UNBEARABLE AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN, I'VE TRIED TO LOOK FOR REASONS THAT NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN.
LIFE AND DEATH HOLD MYSTERIES BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE. I LOVED YOU THEN, I LOVE YOU NOW AND I WILL FOREVER MORE!      "MA"

This day is here again! With every passing year, I think it will be easier, but it's not. I still flash back to that morning that changed my life forever. I can hear myself screaming and feel myself shaking. 
I know I'm not the only mother who lost a child, so many have and some in more horrible circumstances and at earlier ages, but he was MY son and he meant the world to me! 
Seems death comes more frequently as I age. One doesn't become more at ease with it tho. I think I know more people who have died than those that are alive and that's sad. 
But this is "our" day son; not in a good way but you remain my "shining star" and I will forever miss you and shed tears.

Today begins a new year. It is 2019. It will soon be 9 years since we lost you! Time stands still in my heart tho. A slight trigger can return me to that horrible, heart-wrenching day and I feel all that pain again. I struggle to move on but I have. I remember you and all you gave to so many of us and I smile because when you were here, you brought smiles and happiness to so many. I'm never gonna be complete again but your siblings and your daughters give me reason to go forward. I know where you are is a place of love, peace, beauty and comfort. What mom wouldn't want that for her son? I miss you, I love you and I look forward to being there with you.     "Ma"

Nothing is or ever will be the same! You were a blessing from the beginning and when I look past the pain, I have to smile because of who you were and the joy you brought to each one of us. Happy Heavenly Thanksgiving, Son. I love and miss you.       "Ma"

I miss you my "Shining Star". Life isn't the same anymore, but my love for you remains. Smile down from Heaven this weekend, Son!       Ma

Hi, Scott. Happy Heavenly Birthday. Even tho I don’t post on your site often I do however think of you often. Probably as often as your mother does. When I think of you I think of the heartache your mom is feeling. I know she would love to have you down here on earth so she could hug and kiss you and really be able to celebrate your birthday with you. Just show her somehow today that you are right there with her. I would love nothing better than to see your mom happy in some way. Since you can’t be here with her celebrate with your family in heaven with you. I love you.

8 years....the major change is that I've been able to become functional in life; one must go on. I do all that is expected of me and I don't expect or ask of others. I carry you safely tucked in my heart. You do not ever disappear from me. When I am to myself, my thoughts are of you and the memories you have left me.
It's true, time marches on and I am prepared to go to "the end of my journey" whenever God calls me. Life here on Earth is a struggle for so many and I'm ready for peace and joy and to be with family and loved ones who have gone before me.
I love you, Son! I miss you SO much! I wish I didn't have to face this reality every year. You remain my "Shining Star."  Ma

A brand new year has started. I have high hopes for good things to come to many family members this year. 2017 has been quite a struggle. As for me, I'm content with "holding my own" in life. I have decent health and at this point, I can pay my bills by continuing to work at a job I no longer enjoy, but that is life for many. I keep my memories close and they still bring tears, but I handle my days and allow the nights for myself. The more years that pass, the greater the loss I feel. I miss the bond we had and I wish you had stayed to see your girls grow up. We all miss you terribly but are doing our best to move forward. I LOVE YOU, SON!  "Ma"

Tears to you at Christmas time are gently tinged with joy, at every precious memory of when you were a boy. For you were goodness here on Earth, adored in every way and you are missed so very much every single day! We will meet again, Son, but until we re-unite, may heavenly peace surround you and bathe you in its light!

Well, it's Thanksgiving 2017. It's nothing like the family gatherings we had when you were still with us. Everyone just does their own thing. It may have gotten like this even if you were here because life these days is nothing like when you were growing up. People struggle just to make it to the next paycheck. Everyone is busy. Life goes on. But I am thankful this day and always for years of memories that get me thru to the next day. I feel your absence, Son, but I also feel your love. Missing you, always, "Ma"

Dear Scott: You would have been 43 today if we could have saved you, if you had even hinted to one of us that you needed our help, if you had reached out to us on that horribly sad day when our world blew up and we lost you forever. There has been alot of changes in the world and in our family. Your girls are amazing and you would be so very proud of them. They each have their own talents and are gifted as well. I'm so glad they got beyond losing you and have flourished. They still talk about you with love so that's great, but they needed you to be here. We all did. I can't move on as most have. I don't ever have a day you aren't in my thoughts or one without tears. Yes, there are those beautiful memories to hold onto, but I'd rather hold onto you!  I take off work every year on this day because I don't trust myself to not have a moment I can't control. The day you were born, a light was turned on in my heart and the day you left, it went out and I'm always stumbling in the darkness. I love you, Son. I miss you terribly and I will remember you ALWAYS! Happy Heavenly Birthday my "Shining Star".    "Ma"

Hi, Scott. I have been gonna write to you for a long time. I think about you most every day. While thinking of you I also think of your mom. I can't even imagine how she feels but I do feel her pain. I really wish we lived close together so I can hold her in my arms. Let her cry if she wants.Let her scream if she needs to. If she feels she wants to go running just to rid herself of pent up frustration or whatever she needs to do. I hate myself for living so far from your mom. She needs someone to be able to talk out her hurt and frustration. I think she needs someone to just talk to and listen to what she has to say and help her to try to go on without so much pain. I know she loves you and misses you more than anyone can comprehend. So, Scott........please show yourself to her every now and again. She needs to know you're there. Since I can't be with your mom physically I will pray for her. You have a very amazing mom. Well, Scott, I love and miss you as well. Remember...visit Mom.

Today marks 7 years without you. Is it easier? No. Am I getting thru life? Yes, because there are others who need me to. Without them, I'd probably shut down. Your daughters are someone to be proud of. They are strong, beautiful, smart and adjusted. I can't speak for your siblings, but I can speak of them. They have had quite an adjustment to make in life and they each deal with it differently. The greatest difference in life without you is the absence of "family." There is no togetherness anymore. We all miss you, but we don't share that emptiness among us. I am still taking one day at a time. Oh how I wish I didn't have to face another year without you. I love you Son. God keep you for me.

Brother I never get on here. Mom tells me to all the time. It's just too hard. I see all the things that people have to say about you and it reminds me what the world lost when we lost you. Just know I love you so much and I am never going to be the same without you. The song above is one thing always reminds me of you and our relationship. I would have done anything for you. I remember our talks. I remember our fights. But all of that was us. I always wanted my big brother....I still do. I hate being older than you now. This world isn't easy to navigate without having you to lean on. I miss your hugs, your smile and your laughter.

I recently came across this anonymous quote and thought of you, Scott. 
"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go."
We love and miss you a lot.

Happy birthday bro! I would give anything to spend the day with you . I never had the chance to tell you how much you had an impact on my life and how even now that you are gone i continue to learn from the things you taught me. You always made my birthdays so great and special. I just wish i could give you an awesome birthday in return. I love you so much and miss you terribly!

Merry Christmas in Heaven, Scott. I hope there's celebration with family there. Christmas has changed for everyone through the years, but 1 thing that hasn't changed is our memories of you and the emptiness we all feel. You have missed so much that I know would have brought you joy. But this day and everyday we carry your memory with us. God bless you and may you visit in spirit. I love you, Son, my shining star.  "Ma"

Today we had our Thanksgiving gathering. It was small but enjoyable. I wish you were here to share it with us. Heather got text from Trinity saying she will visit sometime during Christmas.  I am going to J's for Christmas and hope I won't miss her visit as we haven't seen Mateo, your grandson, in person yet. I hope you can send a sign to let me know you're near as I miss you so very much! Take care and know you are loved. "Ma"

It's your birthday! Alot of memories are surfacing today. They are what keeps me here. I saw an ad for the Lone Star Rally in Galveston this weekend and I remembered it was always your birthday treat to yourself to attend the rally. 
It's hard to think of you being 48 today if you were here and being a granddad twice! You are remembered by many and it is reflected in your grandson's name, Mateo Salvadore-Scott Perez and your nephew, Levi Scott Hommel.
Sending birthday love to you and hoping you're looking down and smiling. I love you, Son! Happy Heavenly Birthday!

What a wonderful day to remember,  November 4, 1974 at 4:04pm!  You were born.  You gave me 35 years of memories, mostly good.  It's what I hold on to, what gets me through to the next day.  Some fond, happy memories I cherish of you through the years are: 
The day you were born, you were the only boy in the nursery with about 5 girls.They used to sy you had your own harem.
When you came home, Aunt Debbie was living with us and we took a picture of you every time you made a different face.
When we moved to Fl., you accidently fell off the changing table and was rushed to the hospital.  You had a hairline fracture!  I was so scared for you!
When you were about 3 we were waiting in line at a new store opening and you pulled a metal line marker down on your head. They called an ambulance and we went to the hospital and you got 3 stitches in your head.  Everything was paid for by the store.
When you were about 4, I tried putting you in child care so I could go to work.  You screamed everything you saw the school and clung to me when I tried to leave.   They said you wouldn't play with the other kids, you sat behind the door and waited for me to come back.  I took you out of daycare after 2 weeks.
When you started 1st grade,  you had your 1st girlfriend, Darcy Montgomery.  On Valentnes Day, she came o our house into Colony and brought you a card and chocolates.
In 2nd grade, you were caught in a photo with the school's crossing guard because she was dressed in an Easter bunny costume and the photo made the local paper as well as newspapers around the world.
These are some of my favorites.  I can't list them all, but I treasure them all.I always called you my "shining star" and I still do.  You had alot of talents> skateboarding, rollerblading, amazing artist, computer expert, animal lover, BMX and more.  Thank you for these memories and more.  I miss you and love you so very much.  I hope there's a celebration for you in Heaven as you would now be 47.  Forever and Ever, "Ma"



Pandemic

The world has been hit by the corona virus (covid-19) and we are all to be self-quarantined.  This could be weeks or longer before it is safe to go back to work, interact with people and have some normalcy again. So many things are closed:  schools, malls, restaurants, colleges, bars, beaches, theatres.  Supplies, food and water are scarce and over-priced.  So many people have lost their jobs which means no income, no money to pay bills, rent, etc.  Some don't even know if there will be a job to go back to.  Seniors are going to miss making memories, prom, etc.  Trinity can't show her pig, go to prom or go on her planned trip this summer to Dominican Republic!  It's bad everywhere and we don't know how much worse it will get or for how long.  I truly believe the only way out is through belief and prayer to God.  We took God out of so much of our life there is no protection for us.  I am praying for myself, my family and friends, our nation and all unbelievers.  GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

2019 Trip Home

It has been 24 years since I was home in Pa.  Thanks to my amazing daughter, your sister, she and I are going for a visit Aug 9-13th.  Aunt Debbie/ Rik are going to be there Aug 8-14th.. I hope to surprise her for an early bday gift as they don't know we are coming.  
They held off having The Bennett Reunion till we get there so we will be able to see extended family as well.  I have some things I hope to do while we are there, but it all depends on time.  First thing is to get Hank's Frozen Custard!!  I also want to visit the cemetary, go see Aunt Judy/Uncle Howard and if we can fit it in, go to Conneaut Lake Park to walk around and eat their fries with malt vinegar.  But my main thing is to spend as much time with family as possible because this will be my last trip home.
