Happy Birthday
These emails reminding me will never not come as a shock. I hate that your not here , it's the hardest thing I've had to deal with so far. I think about you and mamaw everyday, and sometimes I even still attempt to call your number even though I know , you won't pick up. I miss talking to you. , And everytime I hear a joke your the first one that comes to mind. It's getting cold and all I want to do is call you and ask you to make me pinto bean soup, ive been watching Emeril which I know you love , and guess what even though he is beyond old he still screams BAM. Your grandkids are getting so big , I wish you were here to see how they have grown. I keep your photos close to me , and I often catch myself looking to the sky talking to you and grandma. In my opinion I know you can hear me, and if you can do me a favor. Ask mother nature to make up her mind whether she wants it to be hot or cold, because the way she has it is driving me insane. Love you and miss you more then you could ever know. Love always your granddaughter (YOUR FAVORITE). Heather

I miss you !! More then you know !!

January 4, 2020
I wasn't prepared when my email generated this message letting me know that it's been one year since you've been gone . I cried my eyes out and couldn't stop all day . I miss you so much , I miss you and mamaw. I'm still not sure I've really grieved at all because to me it still seems like your here , like you both are here . I don't know really how to cope and or live without you , I try but it's not easy . One year without hearing your voice , or seeing you has left me with this ILL feeling inside. I still hear your voice but I know it's just memories . I'd give anything to be able to speak to you but I know that even if your not here you do hear me speaking to you and although I can't hear you in return I know your your listening   . Always you will be with me in my heart and my memories. I love and miss you so very much much. 

Dad!!

well Dad for now i'll be fishing without you, we had long talks about this day. but nobody never wants to lose any love ones. but you leaving really hurt me. because we were fathers an sons an you was my best friend.an the phone calls i would get from you an my brothers. it was always like comedy centeral. even at bad times even in death we were crying because of the joking an cuttin on eachother. if you don't have thick skin being with all of us . could be hard to deal with us. i'll move on an you an mom an the rest of the family will be watching over all of the family. an one day we will see all of you again. that day will be a speical day for all. we love you always an say hello for us to the family thnx Dad your son.

My Papaw

January 9, 2019

So many memories that we have together , so many things that we have done !! Wanted this to be a bad dream but it was to real. The greatest man Ive ever known , full of heartfelt laughter and joy. Jokes and tricks . He has a way to brighten the room just by walking in . Could turn a frown upside down just by beeping the horn as you walked in front of his car scaring you , and behind the wheel he would just laugh until tears were in his eyes. I'm not ready to say goodbye , and to never see him again , but I know he is pain free and he is with mamaw , and them being together again reunited makes me smile .I don't want life to go on without him , but God had other plans. The memories I hold in my heart of us will always remain , always get me through , and when I'm sad I can now look at the sky and think that somewhere up there he is shouting BETTY!! The bus is leaving , get your coat let's go home. I love you so very much papaw , and my love for you will never change . Until the day I see you again.  Fly high love , fly high. Love your granddaughter Heather Nicole
