Can’t believe it’s been this long already, Dad I miss you more than words can express. I’m grateful for every moment we shared together, and I’ll always cherish those memories. Wish we had more time together

I know you’re watching over me from up above, and that gives me comfort. I hope you’re proud of the person I’ve become. I’ll always love you, Dad. Rest in peace.

It’s been a while that you left this world to enter the new world and am sure you are enjoying and feeling blessed. You gave me a feeling of so much love while you were here. I loved to hear your stories and places you had gone. Even after all this time I still love and miss you.

Dad they say grief is easier to bear as time goes by, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It’s been a crazy few years for me and so many thing’s have happened that I would have loved to share with you.

There have been thousands of times when I've wished you were still here, to celebrate all of my joys, support me in the hard times and help me calm my fear.

Sad to say it but wish I had spent more time with you. I want you to know I love you and think about you every day.

RIP Dad

Dad they say times a healer but as the times go on, I seem to find it just as hard to face the fact you’ve gone. Today is the anniversary of the day that you went away and it never gets any easier. You will never be forgotten and every year I’ll shed a tear. I am so blessed to have my family and amazing friends around me. RIP dad love you lots

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years. It seems to have passed so quickly, but sometimes feels like an eternity. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you as I look around the home we made together. I am so grateful for the good times we shared, the places, things and people I'd have never known if not for you.
I will always miss and love you.

It didn’t matter whether we met often or not, what mattered is that your advice helped me connect my life’s dots. It didn’t matter whether we spoke every day or not, what mattered was that you loved me a lot. Dad, I miss you and love you lots RIP dad

It may seem odd that Mother's Day brings you so much to mind & makes the void of your being gone so much bigger. We had no children together. But not a single mother's day passed since we met that you didn't tell me what a wonderful mother you thought I'd have been & expressed regret we met too late to have a family together. But we had all our various 4 legged "children" & you made sure I always got cards & gifts from them. Even when you were traveling, there were e-cards & git's when you ca me home. Always at least 4 - one from each type of critter. It always made me feel so loved & appreciated for holding down the fort whole you were working for our future.
Last week I heard baby birds cheeping in the birdhouse you gave me from our kids last year for Mother's Day. It made me laugh cos you said you only got it cos it's cute but that nothing would probably use it. But it also made me sad - I sooo wished you were here so i could show them to you!
Most of our kids are with you now. Another reason this year hurts so badly. But I am grateful we had the years together with them all. And for the ones still here.
But mostly I am thankful you brought Adam into my life. You did give me a 2 legged kid - not my blood, but I love him just the same. He has your eyes, & every time I see them I'm reminded of all the qualities I loved in you. But I also love him for the young man he is in his own right.
And for that, & so much more, I will always love & miss you.

Well Sweetheart, it's Valentine's again. You have been in my heart and mind all day. I saw the gifts you gave me last year and smiled and felt loved. This is the day dedictated to romantic love. We shared 15. Each was memorable. I will always be grateful that you taught me Any day can feel like Valentine's when you believe you "mean the world" to the one you love. I know what Valentine's meant to you. You knew what it meant to me. We Both knew where that would lead. I still miss us. I always will. Enough said.

Happy Birthday my Love, I know we did not get to spend birthdays together but the time we did have together was enough to give me a life time of memories. Joshua, Chris, Joey, Ann and I set balloon's up to you for your Birthday tonight. We had white ones for the angles and lit up ones so you would have no trouble finding them, We did not have near enough time to make all the memories I would have liked to have made but the time we shared can never be taken from us. We shared a love that can never be be explained away. I love you Tim and will hold you in my heart forever.Happy Birthday my love.

Remembering you with love on your birthday today and always.
I got to spend so many birthdays with you, wondering & planning things to do to make your day special, baking your favorite scotch cake, your favorite dinners, or going to Sam's Boat for long lazy lunch, or getting together with friends. And best of all being home and cuddling. Times I would pretend to forget your birthday (and you would pout) just so I could see your smile when I surprised you. Hours i spent trying to find the perfect cards. All the times I asked what you wanted me to get you & I always got the perfect answer: "just you". How I miss all we shared. I miss You.

I have never known that being fatherless will also make me feel worthless, powerless, aimless and helpless. Dad, wherever you are now… I just want you to know that regardless of how much we have fought, argued and misunderstood each other, you still end up being my Dad. That is what my heart always knows… I miss you dad, happy birthday in heaven!

my love Tim, no words could ever tell how my heart hurts for you no longer being here with me. I still reach for you in the night and sometimes it feels like you are still here reaching for me. I miss you and your smile, your touch, your stories, the movies we always watched together. I miss sitting with you and cuddling every day and night. I miss you getting on me for driving to far over to the right when we went places. I miss going out for lunch and all of the funny things you always seemed to come up with. Every room in our home is filled with you my love. I can barely stand to stay in it. But leaving does no good as you always called or texed me if I was more than an hour out of the house so I wait for your call while I am driving. I have had to stop on my way so many times as my heart was breaking knowing I would never receive another call from you. I loved you with all of my heart Tim. You will forever live in my heart and I will hold you there until I can hold you in my arms once more. I don't know why the Lord would put you in my life to only take you back so quickly. I will always be thankful for the time we shared our lives together. I only wished we could have had the rest of our lives together. We had so many plans but they were cut way to short. I love you Tim and I know you truly loved me. Rest a while my love until we can be together once again.

Tim,
Once I believed you could read my mind &see into my very heart & soul. I hope that was true & still is. If not, I hope these words reach you somehow. And so Sweetie, forgive me if I expound one last time.....
You were my best friend, lover, partner & confidant; my champion & my critic; the smile on my face & a pain in my "arse". We said there was no you or me, only "us" & "we". My belief in your love & our future together was my strength & sustained me when we were apart. You were my greatest joy, & finally my deepest sorrow.
This is the 2nd time I have felt the horrible pain of losing you. Life threw us curves. The oilfield is a demanding mistress & kept us apart when we needed each other most. Time apart took its toll. When you told me you wanted a new life without me, my world imploded. "We" had died, & I grieved over the loss of"us", & of you. To stop the pain, I tried to stop loving you. I buried all of the good memories behind a wall of anger. We fought as fiercely as we had loved. You said you changed your mind & wanted to stay. But hurtful words spoken in anger could not be unheard by either of us. Soon a house full of animosity was all we shared & divorce became the only option. You moved on. I told myself I had too. I had convinced myself I was getting good at being just me again. Until I saw you Thanksgiving & you wanted to share a beer like old times. I realized I hadn't moved on as much as I thought. Being "just me" around you was too new & still painful, so I shut you out & sent you away. I remember thinking "later, there is plenty of time for this later, when my feelings aren't so raw".
But we weren't given time. You left this world for a better one too soon. So again I mourn your loss. But this grief is different: just as deep, but more gentle. You took my anger with you when you passed. A void was left. The good memories & feelings I had suppressed came rushing in to fill it. And with them came forgiveness & gratitude for having shared even a portion of your life & love. Even with all the absences during our 15 years, you gave me as many memories to cherish as many couples share during a lifetime. I am blessed to have the family & friends you brought into my life, & all our 4 legged "children". It helps to think of you with so many of them now. You will remain alive & loved in the minds of those still here until we join you again.
You asked me last summer if I would shed a tear when you died. You doubted I would. In my pain & anger, I honestly didn't know. I wish I didn't know now, because I cry each day . And then I remember you happy, walking on "our" beach in Ababa at sunset, leaving footprints in the sand like those you left on my heart. And I smile past the tears.
I will never forget the way your smile could light up your face, the twinkle in your eyes, the warmth of your embrace, the simple pleasure of holding your hand, or the sound of your voice when you called me "Strange".
I loved you then, now & always.
I am glad we didn't miss the dance.

I miss the stories Tim used to tell of his life in Africa and of all of the different countries he went to. I miss his smile and his laugh. He loved life and it was filled with adventure for him. I will be forever thankful he was a part of our lives even if it was for to brief a time. I love you Tim and miss you more than I can ever say.

The beginning

January 31, 2016

My 2nd "date" with Tim we met at Woody's Icehouse, our mutual favorite beer dive. It was a gorgeous warm nite so we were out on the patio, me perched on top of a picnic table & him standing in front of me. We talked for hours but seemed like only minutes. I'd never felt so close to anyone so quickly. Last call so we had to go. Tim lifted me off the picnic table & set my feet on the ground (yes, I'm  that short). Then he took my hands and wrapped them around his neck. I was expecting a kiss, but instead he told me to put my feet on his & trust him. I giggled but did as he said & he put his arms around me and "danced" me to my car. He had no idea at the time that my Dad had done this when I was a child or how special it was to me. Once at my car he leaned me against it, dropped his arms & removed mine from his neck. He told me to close my eyes & I did, thinking Now he's going to kiss me! He kissed my forehead & both eyelids, then he gently cupped my face and .... nothing! I opened my eyes to see him caressing my face with his puppy-dog eyes & tilting his head side to side like a puppy does when it is trying to understand something new. I started to speak but he shook his head no & started leaning toward me. I thought, Finally!  And then I felt him slurp my face from chin to tip of my nose!!!. He dropped his hands and walked away, asking over his shoulder: tomorrow?

I was 43, but giggled like a schoolgirl & can still feel the way my cheeks hurt from smiling on my drive home. 

I also remember thinking, when I parked my car... S**t, Houston,  we have a problem.... I think I love this guy!

My grandson and I wanted to pull a little prank on Tim so we found those fake bullet holes you can stick on cars. We put them on his truck then called him out side and asked him who was shooting at him. He was so angry and was about to explode, Joey and I were laughting so hard it was hard to explain they were just paste ons. After he understood what we had done he found the humor in it but if you could have seen the look on his face when he first saw it you would have been rolling in laughter as well. I miss him more than words can say. Rest in peace my love.
