Hi mom. I just wanted to say how much I love you. Thinking of you a lot today. Looking at all the Christmas decorations and all the colors and joy that Christmas can bring folks and ultimately I think of you. You brought so much joy on this earth, but I can’t even imagine the joy that you’re bringing The so many in the other world. I look forward to the day I get to see you again. I miss our conversations. Say hi to dad and be sure to check in on my beautiful boy, Christian.

Hi Mom. 6 years ago I had to say good bye to you from this earth, knowing that one day I would get to see you and dad again. You are such a strong woman and an amazing mom. Thanks for always bringing me joy and raising me with so much love. Because of all the love you gave me, I was able to pass that on to my family. Since the last time I wrote you, the lord decided to take our dear sweet young Christian from this earth. I have so many questions for why God would do this to our family. My biggest fear as a father came true and I lost the most beautiful thing in the world. Christian was really the reason for living and smiling in this world. Danielle and I struggle so much to carry on but as you know, we must. I am proud that you are my mother. I look forward to seeing one day in person again. Tell Dad i love him and promise to give my sweet son a huge hug from Danielle, Kate, Nick and me.

Hi mom. 5 years ago you went to Heaven. I am thinking about you today. I remember the day you left this earth was on Super Bowl night and here we are again. Today is the super Bowl and I am sure you and dad are watching. Please continue to pray for Christian. I love you and dad so much. Wish you were here and we could just talk.

Merry Christmas Mom and Dad. I could really use your help down here but I know you are great advocates for Christian up there. My biggest and only wish for Christmas is to cure my beautiful son and your grandson of all his cancer. I love your guys dearly. Thanks for all the great Christmas memories.

Wow. Today you would have been 87 years old. Happy Birthday mom. I woke up this morning and I didn’t realize today was your birthday but I woke up thinking about you and how I missed you so much and how I wasn’t with you at the very end and wished I had been with you. I thought about how lonely that must’ve felt and has bothered me. I open up my email today and it reminds me that today is your birthday. Clearly you were sending me a signal. I love you so very much and miss you terribly. I look forward to the day I get to see you again.

4 years ago I had to say goodbye to you mom but I know I will see you again and we will laugh and tell stories. I miss you so much and wish I could just call you up and talk. I would love to share all the great things that have happened with your grandkids. I pray that you and Dad are still laughing.
