Miss you Kaiden. I just want to hear you laugh again! Always joking and could make anything funny. I am sure you have everyone around you in heaven laughing until they cry! See you later buddy!

I remember that fateful day 6 years ago. I was at Chili's in Allen with Holly. We had both just finished tanning and stopped to grab dinner. You popped in my head and I said out loud "that little turd forgot to call me". I paid my bill and went home. I was cleaning up and heard the FB Messenger notification. Everything after that call is such a blur. A nightmare that I'll never wake up from. My life will never be the same. Never. I never got to say "See ya later". You were gone before I had a chance. I love you so much and not having you here with me makes life unbearable. I wish I could be with you right now. Until it's time for me to join you ... come see me in my dreams so I can see your smile and hear your laugh.

Well son, on this day 27 years ago you entered my life and it's so hard to believe that I only got to have you here for 21 of those years. I hate when people say that it gets easier because that's just not true. Today hurts just as bad as it did 5 years ago. I wore your jacket all day today hoping it would make me feel like you were right beside me all day. I ate your birthday cake at the cemetery and had dinner in bed. I know if you were still here we would have gone to Pappadeaux together. I know you're still watching over me but I'm selfish and I want you here. I miss your hugs, your laugh, your silliness. Dammit I just miss YOU. i love you so much and my heart will never be the same. Happy 27th Birthday in Heaven.

Happy Birthday sweet Kaiden…. I love and miss you

5 whole years later it’s crazy to hear and see and even say it’s been that long…. Clark holds sooooo many memories we got to share with you! So many laughs and good times! The smallest out of everybody lol but you left one of the biggest impacts on us! We miss you Kaiden

5 years. I still cannot believe that you got your wings 5 years ago. Son, you were loved by so many people and it always makes me smile when I hear people talk about the funny things you did. It was great seeing Nimoy tonight and hearing him talk so fondly of you. I spoke to Neil tonight for almost an hour and we laughed and exchanged more stories about how ornery you were. You made such an impact on so many people in the short time you were here. I know you're still here with us but we don't get to see your beautiful smile and hear your silly sayings. I miss you so much it hurts and I long for the day when I can join you. But until that day comes, continue to look over us all and remind us of your silly antics so we can smile even when we just want to curl up and disappear. You were an Angel among us and I am so thankful that God chose me to be your Momma! I love you Stink.

Missing you and wish I could hug you and hear you laugh one more time. Things will never be the same without you. I know that you, Trevon and Monica are watching over us and we miss you all.

I love and miss you terribly Kaiden. Flashes of memories with you keep passing through my mind… the action figure that the heel did not lie flat so it could stand on its own. You cried with frustration that Christmas. How competitive and determined you were when learning how to ride a bike. The laughter I’d hear when you watched Friday. I miss and love you.

The end of January, I had an overwhelming feeling of grief from missing you Kaiden. We miss your smile and humor. Happy Birthday sweet Kaiden. I love you.

We love and miss you terribly Kaiden. Nicholas and I shared memories with one another on the 9th. All day I felt I had misplaced something.

In honor of you, we will eat sauteed crab claws from Pappadeux.

I love you Kaiden.

The world has not been the same without you. I’m comforted knowing you are surrounded by angels in heaven. Love you forever.

Happy 25th birthday cousin!!!! You’re forever missed and still loved!!! Love you forever

Happy birthday! We miss you Kaiden! I wish I could hear your laughter again! Always joking around! I know you and Tre are in heaven running around doing fart jokes!

Happy 25th Birthday my sweet son. Yesterday my phone accidentally called your number. That's never happened before. I can't help but think that was you letting me know you're right here with me. I hope you'll be with us tonight as we celebrate your birthday at your favorite place.

You were with me Thursday. It was a difficult day. Nicholas and I miss you dearly. We are grateful for our memories of you. Especially during those difficult days. We love you. 

I miss you terribly Kaiden. Remembering your sweet hugs, your beautiful smile, and your wonderful sense of humor. I'm so grateful to have those memories throughout my days. I wear the necklace with your picture on days I need you near. Seems to be more often this past year. Thank you for being with us. I love you sweet Kaiden .

Happy Heavenly Birthday Stink!! Momma loves you and misses you so much it hurts. This day brings so many emotions. I'm happy and want to celebrate because this is the day God sent you to me. But on the other hand, I'm angry because the last birthday I got to physically celebrate with you was on your 19th birthday. We should have had so many more birthday celebrations together!! I love you with all of my heart. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten. Enjoy your day in Heaven with the angels.

Son, I will forever hold in my heart our last Christmas together. It was warm that year (2015) so we had all the windows open while we were cooking. We tried to make Santa hats using Bugles. It looked fun at first but we got bored. You were making your 'famous' macaroni and cheese but we were goofing off and the cheese burnt on the bottom of the pan. You were so disappointed and wanted me to throw it out. We all ate it anyway. We had such a great time before everyone else got there. I will cherish those memories forever. Christmas will NEVER be the same without you. People don't understand why I just want to avoid everyone on Christmas. I miss you with all of my heart and cannot wait to be with you again. I love you so much. Merry Christmas in Heaven.

Happy birthday Kaiden! You are missed everyday!!! I love you and am so sad that you aren’t here. Just one more text one more phone call one more hug! Hope you are living it up in heaven! Love you

Happy birthday my Guardian Angel! Me and Caidyn love you!thank you so much for watch over me and my daughter and for giving her a beautiful name! Have a wonderful day and live it up baby!

My dearest son, today you turn 23! Once again, you'll celebrate it in Heaven. I hope the Angels throw you an awesome party. My heart aches each and every day but this day hurts even more. The last birthday I got to spend with you was your 19th birthday. You were in boot camp on your 20th birthday. You were in Virginia on your 21st birthday. I remember talking to you for nearly an hour on your 21st. We talked about "going out together " now that you're 21. Son, if I had known that would be your last birthday here with me, I would have WALKED to Virginia just to be with you. I love you beyond measure. Last year I heard you call out my name as I sat in my bedroom floor paralyzed with grief. It was then that I realized just how much you are near. You were there to blow out your candle when we had dinner at your favorite place, Pappadeaux. Son, I pray you'll give me the strength to get through this very emotional day. Let the world see my strength today as I cry and scream in pain inside my broken heart. I love you Stink, until we're together again in God's glorious kingdom.

I miss you so much kaiden✨ you were gone too soon my angle love you and keep watching over our family

I remember when I was trying to go to sleep because I had work in the morning, you were sooooo loud and I kept telling you to shut up! You stayed me in the face with air freshener

I miss you more today than ever. I remember that awesome Christmas we had in 2015. I will cherish that visit more and more. I just want it to be January already. I love you forever and ever.

I'm truly grateful and blessed to have had you in my life. Thank you for continuing to be with me... especially during the toughest days. I will take advantage of the opportunity you gave me. I will become the person you were striving to be. We love and miss you sweet Kaiden.
