Still missing you and know we will meet again❤️

I sat at your grave a couple weeks ago just wishing you would just jump out and say this is all a prank. I definitely looked a little crazy talking to your headstone for an hour and a half but I don’t mind it. It felt like you were right there. You taught me to care less about people and to always make fun out of the stressful things. No matter what you were going through you always made it light. I try to live life the way you did but you’re the pro. You always made everyone feel better when they were around you. And you are the reason I’m the funny sister. You taught me well. Someone’s gotta do it. I still to this day expect you to be in the back room or on the couch at grandma terry's every time I visit. I miss and love you.

Twelve years have gone by since you departed this earth. My soul weeps today just as painfully as the day you left. I know you are surrounded by the peace of God and you will be waiting when I get to be with you again. Love never ends. Mom

Today is the remembrance of your earthly Birthday. I hope you can know how much we miss and love you. Much has changed since you left but not a day goes by that you are still in our hearts and thoughts. I always think about how much you loved parties especially on your Birthday! I wish we could have had more parties with you but I know you are in the peace and love of Heaven. Love Forever Mom

You left your earthly life 11 years ago today. The pain of that day is still with us and I miss you every day. I pray you are in peace and are surrounded by friends and family that have gone to their home in Heaven. I hope you can see what a wonderful son you left behind. You would be so proud of the man he is becoming. He was the gift you left behind for us. Love never ends. Mom

Hey Brother.
Wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Today would be your 46th earthly birthday. I can only imagine the shenanigans that would be planned for such an occasion.
Keep watch over us, especially Mom and Dad. We miss you terribly, even after 11 years. Still seems like yesterday. 
Love you lil brother!

Your 44th earthly birthday will be this Sunday. I wish you were here to see the little boy you had to leave behind, He is a freshman in college now. I hope you can see what a fine man he is becoming. He has been your parting gift to your family. It has been 11 years since you left this earth and the pain of that loss is still as deep and intense as ever. I wish I could do it all over and be a better Mom but I hope you knew I loved you with all my heart and will always love you with the little piece of my heart that is left .

The last decade has changed the world in ways no-one would have predicted. Since we lost you the tone is so unwelcoming and has no harmony. When I take time to consider what my world felt like a decade ago you were a constant reminder that beneath the toil, responsibility and expectations it's just living each day and we choose how we live it.

You chose to enjoy your days more than most and I work daily to try and enjoy my time more in memory of that. We all need your light perspective and laughter more now than ever.

Your son is a mirror image of you. I pray, more than anything, that you are able to appreciate how smart he is. You recognized that when he was very young and it brought you more happiness than anything I can remember. You would have been beaming if you would have known him now.

Miss you on the hard days as much as the good ones,
Chris

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message “He Is Dead”,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

-W H Auden

I was sitting in the car waiting for someone to come out of the McDonalds and there was a maintenance man working. He was the image of you. I got out of the car and was talking to him. It was like seeing you again. He said he was 44 ears old. You would be 45 now.  When we were leaving he was waving good-bye to me. I can't help thinking on this tenth anniversary of your passing you came back to visit one more time. You are always with me in my heart. I will see you again in heaven. Love Forever, Mom

Today is the 9th anniversary of your passing. I start this day with tears in my eyes. This week we donated the ice skates you loved so much. It was hard to do because they were a physical reminder of you. But your memory is so imbedded in our hearts you will never leave us you are only a thought away. Your family and friends love and miss you so much. Love Forever, Mom

I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE
In a new way
Since that day
You were taken away
I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE
With the things left unsaid
Knowing I got to say them
With every tear I shed
I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE
By embracing the pain
Knowing that you live on
Through the memories that remain
I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE
Knowing I will never again
See your face
And I have peace knowing
You're in a better place
I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE
Knowing you're in God's care
It gives me the strength to move on
And makes the pain much easier to bear.

The years since you have been gone have not diminished the pain of losing you. I hope you know how much you are loved and what an enrichment you were and still are in all our lives. I love you. Mom.

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Happy Birthday lil' Brother !!

Today would have been your 43rd birthday. I wish I was making lasagna and we were having your birthday party. I remembered today how excited you were when you were little and we had a party at Chuckie Cheese for your birthday. Time does not diminish grief. It just becomes the new norm. We all miss you so much . I love you with all my heart. Always Mom

It hasn’t even felt like seven years since you left us. I wish you were still here to see how far everyone has come. It sucks to realize I won’t see you setting off fireworks off of grandmas porch anymore or hear you calling down to grandma about how someone is on the phone. But, I know you’re always there in some way. Everyday I see how much my sisters and I are like you, uncle Chris and my dad. Kinda scary sometimes but pretty great most of the time. I miss you so much and I hope you’re having fun up there.

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place. Miss you greatly brother. Keep watch over the family for me.

"So let the light guide your way, hold every memory as you go. And every road you take will always lead you home. It's been a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. We've come a long way from where we began, and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again...when I see you again." 4 years and I still don't want to believe you're gone. I love reading and hearing all of these crazy stories about you and the things you did just to make someone else laugh. Your goofy personality was infectious and anyone who had the chance to meet you knew that you were one in a million. Each year when we all sit down for the holidays you can bet that someone has an old story to share that always ends in the whole family laughing so hard we cry. The only thing missing is you. I know you're out there watching over each and every one of us and that warms my heart. XOXO

Four years ago today. Still can't believe you're gone. I still remember you and I in the back seat of my moms car as she was driving you, dressed as the Purple People Eater, to a game at CBC. Haha!! Good times!! Most people don't keep in touch with their first boyfriends, but I was grateful that you and I did. I've got great memories of us. I can't imagine what you're family goes through each and every day. I pray for them and will continue to do so though. I hope you're up there keeping an eye on the Blues this year. And if you're u are...THEY NEED YOUR HELP!! LOL Love ya buddy and miss you.

Few words can be spoken to alleviate the sorrow and pain I feel for the loss of my youngest brother. Its been four years since your passing and little has changed. I still hope to hear about your antics when I talk to Mom on the phone, I yearn to hear your voice when I return home for the holidays and see Zander so proudly display his collection of cars for you to see when you come home from work. I miss you greatly and I know that through all of the grief and sorrow, you still look down upon us, visit with us and look over the family. Rest peacefully my brother.
