Den, I wrote to you on your birthday, Derek beat me to it but it didn't get published anyway. Everyone was at the summer home this year. It was wonderful to have everyone together. I am so grateful for your brothers and their families. They have helped us so much. Happy belated birthday. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It is getting closer to your birthday again. This year will be 19 years of your birthday without you here. When I think about that it hurts so much. I am so grateful for your brothers and their families for the joy they bring us and the love they give us. Your Dad is facing yet another surgery, anyone reading this please pray for him. Not sure when yet. Thank you to Wayne Bielecki, would love to be in touch with him as we don't know much about the Bielecki side of the family. We have the cottage in Bristol and use it as much as possible. That was one of your favorite places and also Dad's. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Dennis and Janet, I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences go out to you and all your family and friends. Dennis, I don't know if you and Jeff remember us but we would occasionally visit Uncle Chet and Aunt Rosie at their cottage on the ocean I think was in Rhode Island in the 1960's. You and Jeff were always there. I have fond memories and we had fun. Wayne, my sister Judy, my brother Brian my mom Mary and my dad John Victor.

Den, went to Hamburg today to Joey's Barbershop. They are working from 6 am today to 6 am tomorrow and raising funds for suicide awareness. One man was helping me and I told him about losing you almost 25 years ago, although my math was off by 5 years. I also told him our three other sons have been there for us and how they have helped us so much. Of course I did have tears in my eyes as that is what happens when I talk about losing you. The man told me he thought he knew me and sure enough he does. I then met Joeys who is the son of your Godmother's friend from childhood, her sister was my friend. Joey was kind enough to take Dad a cookie as he stayed in the truck. Dad did not do well talking about you to this day. All I can say is wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Dad and I are on our way home from Tennessee after a week of cleaning out Grandma's house. I thank God for the strength I get to do the necessary things and apologize to Dad for the times I get frustrated and things come out of my mouth that shouldn't. Can't wait to get life back to normal and put this chapter behind us. I pray for healing for everyone. I know this has been a rough week on Dad. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Bleek,
It's been 19 years since you acted upon your decision. Some days it seems like it's been forever. October 5th will always be the opposite for me. It seems like yesterday. I can think back and tell you where I was and what was said. It's someone I wouldn't want anybody else to go through. I know you're watching over Mom and Pap while they make the drive home. I miss you so much. I love you.
Love,

Dennis, We have had so many years missing you. So much has happened. Our family has grown by leaps and bounds. I will always be grateful for your brothers and their families for filling Dad's and my hearts with love. I run into people often that have lost people they love so dearly and I understand now how that pain will never go away but you will learn to deal with it in your own way. Hopefully it won't break you as it all too often does. I pray for your brother and his recovery from this infection he is battling. I pray he gets his needed rest and his body heals. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I came on this site today felling guilty because I had not in quite a while. It is still so hard to do after all these years. Thanks to your brother for keeping up with tis, but also know Dennis loved you so much. HE does not want you to hurt. I am so glad it means so much for you to have his motorcycle but be careful. I never want to lose another child. "Our boys" have always meant the world to us both. Another birthday without you always so hard. Thank you to all that come and make it hurt a little bit less. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Bleek,
Your bike is finally where you wanted it to be. I ride as often as I can and maybe more than I should. I've gotten so many signs while on it. Seeing the Cessna or the shooting star, I know you were behind both of those. I try not to ride like you did, but sometimes you have to roll the throttle. I would trade it all for another ride with you. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. I love you and miss you brother. Love, LB

Den, All "our boys" are now married. Dustin and Katie had a wonderful wedding with lots of love and fun. Wisk you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
October 5, 2023
Den, Eighteen years ago today you left us. Our impulsive wonderful son. That is what took your life but also what made you the fun, crazy guy you were. You loved much, you lived like you knew you had to hurry up because you would not have enough time to fit everything in. We spent time with your brothers today, done in person , some on the phone and some of our grandchildren. Your Godmother always remembers these hard days as do others who loved you and are there for us. I am grateful for the people we have here that us help us and love us. I love and miss you. Wish you were here. Love, Mom

Den, i just read what your brother wrote to you. I know you ate so proud of your brothers, not just Don and Dustin but also Derek. You all have such a special bond and i am so grateful for that. I see do much division in so many families but your brothers have been holding strong and i hope they will continue to do so. Derek works hard addy his job and is a wonderful Dad and Husband, as is Don and I'm sure Dustin will be very soon. Thank you all for being so loving and caring to each other, your families and to Dad and me. Den, miss you, wish you were here. Love Mom

Bleek, you would be so proud of the men your brothers have become. I know I am. One of the best moments of my life so far is hearing Dr Dustin Bielecki. And Doug is raising seven kids while working full time and taking college courses. They are both so amazing. I wish you were here to share the joys with us. I called your phone so Dex could hear your voice. He responded with "he sounds just like you Daddy". I love you and wish you were here. Love, LB
October 6, 2022
Den, Yesterday was atough day for me. Seventeen years since we lost you. So many people reached out to send their love and i so appreciate all of them. Today an Edible Arrangement arrived from the person i told you really loved you. I could tell when you had an accident and she came to see you at the hospital. About a month before you left us. How things would have changed if you made different decisions. Our impulsive wonderful child. You were so much fun but didn't ever think about consequences. You're final act left no time to think about what you did after you did it. The people that love you will hold your memory in their hearts and have a empty spot that was always reserved for you. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Today is your 16th birthday without you here. I never wanted to outlive any of our children. You boys have always been my first priority. I hate when any of you hurt. But being the independent men that you all are, you make your own choices. Which is the way if should be. Unfortunately sometimes your choices were not the best. But they were yours. You didn't want to hurt anyone. I wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love. Mom

Den, This is my third try writing to you. I have been going through things and i was having a rough day the other day. I was trying to call Dad from the van on the bluetooth and when i said his number it responded "I love you". I said thanks Den but it still hurts so much no matter how much we love you and you love us. I found a letter from the girl that loved you so much. 143. You know who you are. Wish you were here. I live and miss you. Love, Mom

I always begin to think that I am finally going to get to a year where I am not going to struggle. Where this week won't hit harder than the others but it always does. I have been thinking about all the things you probably would have done these past 16 years (probably crazy things...I mean that in the best possible way). I wonder the man you would be today. I wish I could've been more like you. I wish I knew how you were so fearless. Every day I am still in awe of the incredible person you were. I remember you and hold you in my heart always.

Another year. I can't believe we're at 16 years. I love you and miss you everyday.

Dennis, Another anniversary is approaching, another year without our oldest son. I have so much to be thankful for and yet there is that heartache that never goes away. I went to the service for Aunt Helen today. Dad lost an aunt recently, we lost Uncle Nelson - such a big hole again, Aunt Helen and now today I find out a cousin of Dad's has passed away. It has been two years since we lost Mom. On the bight side Eleanor Joy turned a year old a week ago and she is a joy. I am thankful for all of your brothers and their families. I wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
August 18, 2021
Den, I missed writing on your birthday. Things have been crazy as usual, but a good crazy, most of the time. It is so nice having everyone together for your birthday every year. I am glad your brothers and their families still make time for our family get together. I know you are watching over all of us and I love when I hear your song. Not much to say. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

There are people that live their entire life searching for someone that they fall entirely in love with. Someone they meet and know in an instant that this is who they are meant to be with. Someone who is their true love. I found that at such a young age...and maybe I wasn't yours ..I know that's possible...and I just have to be ok with that. I just want to say that even though it was a short period of time, I know what it means and feels like to be head over heels in love. I am lucky because I found it when many others are still searching. You will always be it for me...thank you for being the love of my life
October 6, 2020
I couldn't even bring myself to write yesterday. Some parts of me feel like this just happened yesterday and other parts of me feel as if it was a lifetime ago. How can 15 years have gone by already? Sometimes I feel like I am making great strides in getting "better" and then this anniversary comes around and I get worse and worse each year. 15 years ago I felt like my world ended. I didn't realize in how many ways that was true. I wish you had gotten to experience all the parts of life you did not get a chance to experience. Your lack of fear in life inspired me and your lack of fear of death frightened the hell out of me. I have never met anyone since who lived so full of passion. To have known you is always a blessing and I pray each day that you know that. Always.

Den, Here i go again, can't sleep until i write to you. I remember this day 15 years ago, i was on the couch most of the night waiting for you to come home. I went to work the next day hoping you would be coming home and then i got that visit that i think i knew was coming. The calls i had to make to Derek and Donovan broke my heart even more than it already was. Then i went into where Dad worked to tell him and pick him up, i knew he would not be able to drive home. On our way home we're picked Dustin up from school. It still tears me apart to this day. I thank God for your brothers, and their wives and children. I would be so lost without them. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Bleeker,
The days are long, but the years go by fast. In the blink of an eye it's been fifteen years and yet every single day you are remembered. Stories are shared and memories discovered. I enjoy watching all the pieces of a lost memory come together like a puzzle. Each of your family members or friends tell their version or piece of the memory. But there is always one piece missing. The stories never complete.
We see your signs. We know your with us. You have Bouchie now. We miss her, too. So much. Does she still cheat at cards?
We hope you found your peace. We send our love up!
Derek Bielecki
October 5, 2020
Bleek it has been 15 years since you were last with us. I remember the first call I got like it was yesterday. Say a prayer for your brother cause he didn't come home tonight. I prayed so much that you had enough and came out here without telling anybody. I remember the nerves and lack of sleep until the call that you were gone. We love you and miss you so much.
Love, LB

So tonight in all my wisdom instead od falling asleep i decided to look at your guest book. Now instead of sleeping i am writing to you and crying. It was your 40th birthday and one of your favorite ladies joined you last year. The bond you two had was amazing. You also have your nephew, John, with you this year. The pain of losing you just does not go away. It will be 15 years in October, hard to believe. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, mom
August 7, 2020
Happy belated birthday Bleek. This year would have been your 40th. You are missed greatly and loved even more. Your nieces and nephews love you through the stories they hear. They all know the pain that is the loss of some one special. This is the first year that your birthday was celebrated without someone here who is now there with you. It's been a crazy time as usual though. I love you and miss you.
March 23, 2020
Den, Such crazy times right now. I think most everyone is at least a bit afraid right now. I am sure it will be getting crowded up there. It makes me remember when 9/11 hit. I remember you being at work and calling me, Derek was also working and called me. I just wanted all "our boys" at home with us where maybe we could help protect them. Now I protect them all with prayers as none of "our boys" live at home. We are so proud of all of them. They have become wonderful men and fathers. Always have been wonderful people, sons and brothers. I love all of you. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
February 3, 2020
Den, How I remember the many times we were at the doctors office and I read The Fox and the Hound. I think it was to the point that I could read it without hardly looking at the words. Then you would watch the movie at Busha's house. I loved the time I got to spend with "our boys". I love each and every one of you so much. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
January 24, 2020
Watching the fox and the hound. Thinking about you. Love you and miss you so much. Love, LB

October 6, 2019
There is something about this year that has hit harder than usual. I don't know why, every year has been hard, but for some reason I am having a harder time than past years. Maybe it is because the more time that passes the less people understand why we still hurt, or maybe it is because I am not around the same people I was then so the people I see now are not people that knew you. I talk about you though. I share the good and silently hold on to the bad. I want people to know the man that I knew and I don't want you to be defined by the end. I want them to know the loving, kind, and generous man that I knew. The man who was in the driveway fixing a car and yet had a pie in the oven. The man who drove to a roadside fruit stand and bought one thing from two children and payed well over what they were asking, just to make those kids smile. You were brave and fearless. Sometimes you were larger than life. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to be a part of your life and for you to be a part of mine. You changed me in ways I couldn't have even imagined both when you were with us and after you passed away. I wish, as I am sure everyone does, that there could be another conversation, another laugh, another moment shared, sometimes they happen when I sleep and I wish I could hold on to those moments forever. These are such bittersweet moments. Forever and Always Dennis!
October 5, 2019
Dennis, It is 14 years ago today that we lost you. It still breaks my heart to think about it. Your spacial lady, your Busha is with you now. I can only imagine that reunion. You held so much love for each other. I thank God for her peaceful passing. I thank God that she did not become a vegetable laying in bed and I thank God that she is with you and Charlie. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, What an emotional Mother's Day. Thank you to Derek and Ern for the edible arrangement and Jess for the balloon and teddy bear. Thank you Jess for the talk we had today. After all these years it stll hurts so much. Don & Kate's lttle ones enjoyed the balloon so much and Dexter and Diem will have the bear. Thought that was fitting as we have always called Derek bear. I am so glad that Derek had a dream about you. I have dreams about you from time to time and hate when wake up and you are not here. I am glad to wake up and have your brothers and their families but miss you. I said something to one of our grandchildren the other day about not liking to cry in front of other people. She said she had seen me cry, I asked her when and she said because of Uncle Dennis. She is right. Look after Jess, her hubby and espcally her lttle one. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Valentines Day. A day to recognize the people that we love. So many people that continue to love you. What an impact you left on all of us, that more than 13 years later I still sit and have sadness rush over me again. Sometimes I feel like it all just happened yesterday, and then other times it feels like it was a lifetime ago. I still wish that things had happened differently...that you were here. That you had the opportunities and blessings that the rest of us were given. Its not the same, and not nearly enough but your life will continue on in the hearts, minds and memories of everyone you touched....your family, your friends, and even the small moment encounters with people that may have only met you once. You left an impact on us all. We were the lucky ones to have had you!

Den, Another Christmas without our oldest. They all hurt, but I must say that your brothers are awesome. They have been there so much for us. Derek and Dustin call almost everyday. Don came up with the idea of decorating Gram's house so she could have a real Christmas there and him and Dustin did a wonderful job. When we went in the driveway yesterday I was so surprised but figured it was ust me not seeing things that had been there all along. I was talking to Derek and said that Aunt Lori must have put things out that I did not notice before. He said that Aunt Lori did not do it and then told me it was his brothers. Don and Dustin installed lights in the garage addition that Derek, Don and Dustin bought. Then they all bought running boards for the truck so I do not have to grab the steering wheel to get in. I told Dad if the steering wheel breaks it is my fault. Then we have seven wonderful small Bieleckis that make our world complete. How we love our children and grandchildren. I thank God for all our blessings and I thank God for the time we had you. wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

My heart breaks every day not only for me but for the others that loved you so much and still 13 years later feel that hurt. I see my last post was not posted, so for now - Wish you were here. I love and miss you, Love, Mom
July 15, 2018
Time passes and a million things change but yet part of me will ways be in that same place. Never moving past those moments in time. You were the epitome of strength, and courage. You showed me adventure, and made me believe in love. My heart breaks as much today as it has all of these years but I wouldn't want it any other way. I would never have passed up knowing you. I hope you somehow know how much you were and are still loved...always.

May 11, 2018
Den, This page now says what would you like to say about Dennis. I would like to say, you were a wonderful, compassionate, loving, impulsive man. The only trait I wish you had not had was being impulsive that last day. You loved children so much, I remember when Dustin was young and you would always try to get him to call you Dad. Makes me wonder if something inside you knew you would not be a dad. I used to tell you not to do that. It did not stop you. I was talking to Derek the other day about all our grandchildren and we were talking about bicycle riding and playing chicken. I said to him that you guys never did that. He said no Mom we did not. By the way he said it I knew you did. I so mmiss you and what could have been, I guess a parent will never stop thinking about what could have been. I love and miss you. Wish you were here. Love, Mom

December 15, 2017
Den, It has been a while since I last wrote. My heart always has a hole in it that was your place. I do have some many that love me and help but that hole just stays. I can cover it up fr a while and then things happen that open it wide up again. I never know what those things are but it happens. I miss you so much and you have missed out on so much here. Your four nephews and three neices and however many more may come. How I love each and evry oone of those children. Your brothers and their spouse or special person in their lives. I know you of all people tried to accept everyone. I will always feel that in some way I failed you. I thought that knowing you were so loved would be enough to get you through anything. How wrong I was. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Derek, Erin, Dex and Diem were here the beginning of October. We had a jam packed time and did a lot of fun things together while they were here. We did the mountain coasters that you would have loved, I am sure you smiled down on us. Grandpa is with you now. I know you were there to greet him with your arms open wide waiting to give him one of your great hugs and smiling that wonderful smile. That smile and those hugs I miss so much. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Went to the walk last Saturday that Don & Kate organized. How nice that DOn is trying to prevent suicides. I had wished there was something I could do but would have never had the guts to do what Don & Kate did. Thanks to Dustin and Katie for coming also. Saw Derek, Erin and the little ones over the weekend. Thank you Derek for all your help with the crazy garage door. They are so much work but look so good once they are done. Four more left to go. It takes a good two days to complete one so we are going to shoot for two a year as my time out there is limited. Dexter and Diem are growing so fast, I wish they lived closer but cherish the time we get together. Family has always been so important to us and they always will be. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

August 29, 2017
Den, Went out for lunch with Dustin and Katie the other day, every day I see or hear from our children is a good day. We talked about the run/walk that is being organized. They will both be there. Going to see Don, Kate and the little ones tomorrow. Some of them are not too little anymore. Will see Derek, Erin and their little ones soon. So much to be thankful for. Have to get back to putting the finish on the hallway wood. It is my thrid coat and I am getting mighty tired of it. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Decided I woould try to write more often again. I have so much to be thankful for. The time we got to spend with you, although we will never be the same again since losing you, you changed our lives by being with us for twenty five years. You taught us how much fun a fun loving impulsive person can be. Which is why while I loved aspects of your impulsiveness it is the trait that ultimately took you from us. I will forever be heartbroken that you did not call me or one of your brothers. I will be forever heartbroken that you trusted untrustworthy people. I will be forever hertbroken that we lost you before you got to really start to live your life and know you worth. So many loved you so much and would have been there if only they knew. I will be forever heartbroken that you chose to keep everything to yourself. I admire your brother for the walk/run he is organizing. I have wanted to do something to raise awareness and he is doing just that. Thank you Don! I will be forever thankful for you and your brothers, their families and our extended family. We have so much love surrounding us, that keeps us going. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It has been so long since I have written to you. I think it is just too hard to feel those feelings. When I signed on I saw your brothers post so I have to call him and thank him for my cry. We had another birthday celebration for you this year. I must say if anything good came out of losing you, it is that all your brothers, their wives/girlgriends, their children, Gram, Aunt Lori and Jordan have been there every year. Darren would have been there this year also but he had an accident. The trait that made you so fun and lovable is the one that ultimately took your life, you were impulsive. I tell you nephews and neices about you. I found the paper that Smoothe wrote the other day, I cried but loved it all at the same time. I look forward to your neices and nephews reading it. I also have the one that Jamie wfotr and the on Jessica wrote and read. Thank you again, Jessica. It was funny how when she went up to read the 10 things you taught her that she grabbed the tissue box from Derek. I really put her on the spot by asking her at the last minute to read it because it would mean so much more coming from the person who wrote it. Aunt Lori posted your song recently on the internet, that came from Aunt Kathy. I am forever grateful to her for picking that song so we could rock you into God's arms. Chris from church played it on his guitar and we all sang. My brother and sisters got us through all the planning as Dad and I could not make the decisions. We were too much in shock by your loss. I think I am making up for not writing for so long. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
July 13, 2017
Bleek, I am talking with our Pastor today about ministry. I know you already know this because you are right there with our heavenly father. Wish you were here with us. I know with all my heart that we will one day see each other again, where there is no hurt nor pain nor suffering. There are definitely some days where I just think how awesome it would have been for Dex and Diem and my kids to see their Uncle. I know that they would have loved to spend time with you. I am in the very beginning stages of organizing a fun run/walk to shed more light on suicide. I plan on talking and sharing my story. I have to go back to work now. Peace be with you in heaven. I love you bro.

Den, Dad has been soenjoying his time with Derek, Erin, Dexter and Diem. Children have a magical way about them. I am so glad Derek and Erin had children, I know how much Derek wanted them and I am sure they are healing some of his hurt. I remember when I would have to go to the funeral home for someone my age that had died and had children your age. I would leave there in tears, still do. I would go to Don & Kate's house and Dylan would put his arms out to me and my world was okay again. I told him he will never know how much he helped me. I am sure God sent us grandchildren to help us through the pain of losing our own child. You were heavy on my mind today, you are always on my mind but it was worse today. I always thought that owur closeness and the love you knew we have for all our children would shield you from all hurt. I was so wrong and I am so sorry. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It has been almost two months since I last wrote to you. Life gets so busy and I lose track of time. Christmas was wonderful with Gram, Aunt Helen, Fred, Don, Kate, Dustin, Katie and all the little ones. I am so glad that Aunt Helen comes to things now and can get to enjoy the little ones. It is so funny to see her cuddle the little ones and sing to them. I never really saw that side of her before. Her grandchildren were far away and she missed out on the chance she had to spend time with them. The littlest two, Diem and Ben are growing like crazy. It always amazes me how much they grow and learn in the first few years of their lives. Dustin is following his dreams, I am so happy for him. Derek, Erin and their family and Don, Kate and their family are all doing great. I say this all the time but I am so proud of how all our children have turned out. I would be so lost without your brothers and their families. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Thanksgiving is only a few days away. I love holidays when we all get together. Dexter is looking forward to seeing his cousins. Dustin was here yesterday and cut and split some wood for us. Hauled all of the wood Dustin did over the the ramp to keep us warm the next few days. We are very thankful as it is getting cold today. I got the siding up between the garage doors today and then had to quit as it was getting too cold outside. I think I need about a week more to finish up the siding. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Tomorrow is election day. The worse I remember, we really do not have much to choose from. I pray that whoever gets in that they do the best for this country. I know how much you loved this country. We will see what happens tomorrow night. The Bills are playing tonight, Monday night football. Got the back and one side of the garage sided. Will start the house side tomorrow, have to get garage doors before we do the front. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Dad went with me to get siding for the garage. Went to the doctor with Gram today and then came home to install some of that siding. Got more than half the back of the garage done, feels so good to get some siding up. When I finish the back I am going to start the side that needs two windows installed. It is supposed to be nother nice day out tomorrow so hopefully I can get a lot done. Dad talked to Derek and Dustin today, I talked to Kate. I am so happy for your brothers that they are happy and have people in their lives that love them, I know that was all you ever wanted. You know what I mean, you had plenty of family love. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Had a wonderful weekend, Diem was baptized and a bunch of us went out. Stayed at the summer home for almost a day and a half. It was soonice being with so many of our children. We did miss Dustin and Katie and of course you. How you loved being out at the summer home, I think it was your favorite place to be. I cleaned up Gram's cellar stairs after we got home and as I was doing it I was so sad realizing it could have been her going down those stairs instead of all the flour. I never want to find her laying at the bottom of those stairs or any other stairs. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I started to write to you the other day and shut the compputer down without sending it. Another of my brillant moments. I walked down the memorial walk today, I got to your stone and it had a beautiful fall leave on it. As I swept the leaf away it suddenly reminded me of all the time I spent with you boys outside in the leaves. I would rake them into piles and you guys would jump into them. You would cover up with them and hide in them. Our happy carefree boys. I was talking to someone about you yesterday, someone that holds you dear to their heart. I was also talking about how proud I was of Don to share what had happen with youth he knows to try to help. I explained it is such a fine line, while I love my life and my family I will forever have a broken part of me. One that can not heal. While it looks healed, at any given moment that grief may start to flow again. As it is right now. I hold it in quite well for the most part but I am changed. I never thought we would lose one of our sons. I thought you shared everything with me. How I wish you would have called me. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Happy Belated Birthday!! We celebrated your day as we do every year. A few days later on Dexter's birthday many or us were in bed with a stomach virus. Today was Aunt Helen's 92nd birthday. I remember when I thought 50 was old. This summer is flying by, I still have so much to do and I am not getting it done. I drove by a certain road yesterday and it reminded me of October 5, I started crying of course. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, How time flies. I seem to always be so busy that before I know it weeks have flown by. It will be your birthday in a few days, such a wonderful memory but at the same time so bittersweet. It would be just wonderful if you were here, you leaving us makes it so difficult. I love spending the precious time with everyone but wish it was for completely different reasons. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mon

Den, We have had a few days of nice weather. It is supposed to get hot and humid in the next day or two, tonight should be great sleeping. We had a family reunion with Dad's side of the family. It was so nice to see everyone we have not seen for years. Your two youngest brothers were there and brought their loved ones with them. The little ones we quite a hit as always. Little ones are magical as you always knew. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It was so hot today, was n the 80's but felt much hotter than that. The house stayed nice and cool and I stayed inside for a change. Have a family reunion soon, looking forward to it, I so love being with family. I am sure we will be talking about you also, the fun loving one that loved to live on the edge. How I love all "our boys". I am so proud of the men your brothers have become. They are all so responsible and very happy. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Someone said if there was a God why did their spouse get sick. I said I could say the same thing about losing my child but God has given everyone free will to live their lives as they want to. I always told you boys that they way you live is what you will have. You will either reap the benefits of your choices or pay the price. You made many good choices but that one choice you made changed my world. It was the worst choice you could have made, there were so many other ways you could have turned. But that was our impulsive Dennis. It is what made you the person you were and we loved so. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Got the plywood on the front peak of the garage today, tink I may be done with plywood. Have to fonosh covering the plywood with insulation board and then I can rip the old siding off the back of the garage. After that it is all onto new stuff. Going to see Kate and the little ones tomorrow, so know it will be a good day. Was out in RI over the weekend, got to see Derek, Erin, Dexter nad Diem. They are all doing fine and Dexter is such a sweet little boy and Diem is a very good baby. Your brothers have wonderful children just like ours were. Wish you were here. I love and miss you.

Den, We went past one of the places we looked on Oct 5, 2005. One of the lines you knew well, it broke my heart when we went by and I remembered that day. It makes me think of how much you loved all of us and how you would love all your nephews and neices there are today. They all bring us so much joy. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I have been so busy lately. Trying to get other people to do their jobs lately. Three different companies in one day. Aunt June is with you now, I am sure she is glad to be with Uncle Bob again. It was nice to see the family that we see way too seldom. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I do miss you. You had so many wonderful qualities. I know everythig happens for a reason but I will never understand why. How you would love being a part of your brother's lives and seeing and playing with your nephews and neices. I am so glad that Derek and Donovan have their families and that Dustin has Katie. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mo

Den, I should have written on Friday the 13th. It was Diem Daisy's birthday, Congratulations Derek, Erin and Dexter!! Another little one to love. Your two brothers with children are such great Dads. I am sure Dustin will be if he has children and I know you would have been also. I am so happy for your brothers, they all have loving females with them, they are good people and all seem to be content with their lives. I wish you could have been content. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It has been crazy, nothing new. I like crazy. Have 12 more roof rafters to go before I can get an inspection and start the sheeting. Will have to strip off the old roof when I get to the point of sealing everything. Hopefully before Derek and Erin need Dad. Can not wait for our new babies to arrive. As usual the only thing missing is you. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Talked to Derek today. Saw Don & Kate and the little ones are spending the night. We went to the movies to see Jungle Book but something happened and they could not get what ever it was fixed so we left. It was getting late and we had already been there for an hour. You would so enjoy being with all your nephews and nieces. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Dexter was sick and now Derek has it. Hope he gets over it soon. Don, Kate and the little ones were here today, so it was wonderful. Dustin is doing well, so happy for him.

Den, It has been almost a month since I last wrote to you. I do think of you all the time, I am usually exhausted in the evening and do not write. Everyone is fine, Derek and Erin are expecting soon, Don & Kate less than a month later and the Kris & Ashia less than a motnh after Don & Kate. I do love babies, guess I get that from Gram. Gram is doing fine now, Aunt Helen had a broken wrist that has healed fine. I was thinking about you on my way to work today and I realized I had not written in a while so I made a point to do it tonight. I was thinking about how long it has been since you left, how I wish I could see your babies and the person you would have settled down with, I always rooted for Jessie S. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Went with Gram to her appointment today, she is doing much better. I told her a few months ago that she looked like she was going to go with you but I think you help the door closed and told her not yet. You two were so close, how she loved when you showed up for lunch or a card game in the afternoon. It was so funny when Kris noticed the picture online that showed your work truck parked behind Gram's house while you were there visiting her. It was one of those picturez taken from the air somewhere. Dad and I were talking about you the other day as we often do. I told him that when you got up and told me you had not slept well that I really did not know what to say but to tell you to have a good day. I never thought it would be the last time I would see you here with us. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Went to a wake last week, Derek had called and told me about it so I really wanted to go. As I spoke to the wife of the deceased man, she told me how sorry she was for all I had gone through. I was fine while I was there, then I got out in the van. I was crying and missing you so much. I know this was your choice but it hurts so much when I actually stop and think about it. I am so grateful for your brothers and their families, in Dustin's case for him. I think of the life you could have had, the grandchildren we would have had and it makes me so sad. I love our children and grandchildren so much. They are wonderful. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Talked to Derek and saw Dustin today. So it was a great day. Derek got a nice play set for Dexter yesterday, so glad he shared that with us. Looks like Dexter loves it. Had good intentions for yesterday, wanted to get my wheel bearing changed. The stomach virus had different ideas, spent most of the afternoon and evening in bed. I did make it to a meeting last night. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Cleaned the ramp up a bit today and brought in lots of firewood while it was nice outside. dad went and picked up some more firewood today because I was sure we would run out. It is all cut I only have to split it and it is all managable pieces. It will be fun to do. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Have been busy as usual. The little ones spent the night here Friday, they are so sweet. They went out Saturday and did some sliding down the hill. I rememeber Dad and I wanted the dirt from our basement there so our children would have a hill to play on. I felt that boys need a dirt hill. The hours that you guys spent on that hill and the fun yo had. Dad found a slider that was from you guys in the basement so everyone could take turns going down the hill. Noah discovered he could go down on his coat and it went pretty well. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Dad talked to Derek and I talked to Don today. Brought in lots of firewood so we may have a day of wood in now.

Den, Dad and I both talked to Dustin today. It was Derek's day off and we usually do not talk to him on his days off. Went and got the oil changed on the van, it is too cold out to do it myself right now. Dad is going to take the truck later this week. Picked up a few things I wish I had gotten done weeks ago. It has not been cold too long but I am tired of it already. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I lost days again. Talked to Derek today, twice. How I love the times Dad or I talk with our children. Have to go visit Dustin one of these days to use our saw, I will have to ask him if I have visiting rights. Will see Don, Kate and the little ones on Friday. Went out last night with Gram, Aunt Helen and Fred. We had a very nice dinner and then came home for Grams new favorite, chocolate pie. Getting the hot water tank in today, we have been needing one for so long and have been too busy to get it done. It was beautiful out yeaterday and nice today but it is cooling off fast. Had to let the fire go out for a day so it would not be too hot in here. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Today is Jordan's birthday, she is such a sweetheart. Talked to Derek and Dustin today. Had to snowblow some more, I did not want to go out in the cold so Dad said he would do it. After he went out I decided I really did want to do it and I went out. I have fun on that little garden tractor. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
Janet Bielecki
January 12, 2016
Den, Talked to none of your brothers today, but the snowblower is now working correctly. It felt so good to get out there and run around on the tractor while the snowblower removed all the snow. Our church meeting this evening was cancelled due to the weather, which made me very happy as I did not want to go out in the cold anymore today. You would love this weather, me not so much. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Talked to all your brothers and Kate today. It was a great day, except it was very white. It has been so long since I have written. I have been so busy and sick for quite some time. Finally have the walls up and somewhat back filled for the garage addition. Just in time to have at least a two foot snow fall today. I was waiting until today to put the blower on the tractor so the ground would be frozen and I would not have to lay in mud. As usual I was a day late. Dad helped as much as he could and the blwer is on, I think a belt broke before I was done so I decided to get out the shovel and do some shoveling instead. Tomorrow new belts and more snowblowing. Someone came and plowed Grams driveway for her, so glad people look out for her. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Yesterday was Kate's birthday, so we saw Don, Kate and the little ones and I talked to Derek and Dustin. As always our children bring us both so much happiness and pride. I was talking to someone today about having boys and she agreed about how wonderful they are. She has two boys and one girl, her boys always look out for her. It will be so nice to have at least two of our sons here for Christmas. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Talked to Derek today, got a picture but I think I have to send it to my phone from Dad's so we can see it better. Thank you so much Derek for sending it. Dad talked to Dustin, he is almost done with school for this semester. Long day today, got up at five to go shopping before work. Took Gram her garbage can back, it was here to get rid of the garbage she had at her house. Got good news at the doctors today, no surgery on my finger, it should heal in four to six more weeks. A long time considering it has already been three weeks. I think I made things worse by bending it when I did not know where it was broke. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, It has been uite some time since I have written. Derek, Erin and Dexter were here for Thanksgiving and before and after that Gram was here to have her antibiotic done. Gram is done, the picc line comes out tomorrow. No more midnight and six am wake ups. It will be nice for her to be able to sleep all night without that worry. She has been so good about it, not sure I would be that good. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, Tired out tonight, going to try to make it an early night. Talked to Derek, Don, Dustin and Kate today.

Den, One year ago today was the big November snow. I was stuck in RI for a week. I think I was very lucky to be stuck out of town, not sure I could have handled the long winter if I had been home for that storm also. Gram seems to be getting a bit better, or it is positive thinking on my part. I am so hoping that this antibiotic helps. I know how pills bother her stomach. Talked to Derek and Dustin today. Can not wait for Sunday. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, I looked at the calendar and thought I had lost days again although I was sure I had written yesterday. Then I thought maybe I had written something offensive, can not imagine I would do that. I finally looked at the calendar again and realized in was on October not November. Talked to Dustin today and Dad talked to Derek and saw Dustin. Went out for dinner with Gram, Fred and Aunt Helen. Then went back to Aunt Helen's to play cards and for pie. Dad came home and rested as he was tired. Don and Dustin both got their jerky and I am sure they enjoyed it. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom

Den, So many lost days again. Have been very busy and so much more to do. All the cconcrete that has to be broken up for the foundation of the garage addition is done. Dustin got the jackhammer from his boss and John came over and helped me use it. I did it alone on Saturday and was very happy for the help today. Went for dinner with Don, Kate and the entire family tonight. Their church has a Thanksgiving dinner every year . It was nice to have Grma with us this year. I think it is good for her to get out from time to time anyways. Wish you were here. I love and miss you. Love, Mom
