Miss you so much. 13 years can't seem real when I remember it like it was yesterday. How much there is to tell you that's happened since then. But I'm sure you've seen it all. I love you and it's a happy / bittersweet to see this page is still alive.

Hey Sissy. I know it has been a long time since I spoke to you. I am sorry. It has been a tough year for me because of my health again. Just been thinking of you and dreaming of some of our crazy nights together. A present has been sent to you. Samson, my Great Pyrenees is coming to be with you, Shadow, Mom and Pop. You would have loved him. He was almost as tall as me when he stood on his hind legs and weighted about 175. He was beautiful. White as snow and built like a tank. When he moved it was like slow motion video. Savannah and I have been so upset over loosing him. She made a movie to share with everyone. God I miss you. It is Christmas Eve today. We are going to Mike and Wendy's to spend Christmas with them. I wished we could talk, you always knew what to say to ease my mind about everything. Guess you could say it was my therapy right Doc. Your girls are growing into beautiful young ladies. So smart like you. Our Shelby is so in love, I have been wondering if I would hear they have eloped. Ora is good to her and kind of completes her in a way. She glows when he is around in the Pictures she has taken of them. I think she has chosen an amazing young man. I can't wait to meet him. Hydee is growing like a weed. I'll have to go for now. I miss and love you more each day. Don't think a day goes by without something reminding me of you and it brings back everything. Love always, Brother

I did not get to know you, but I know your daughter Shelby and you must have been extraordinary to have created such a beautiful young lady! I know you are looking down and so proud. I will do my best to protect and guide her. I wish I could heal her pain and keep her young and innocent forever. It breaks my heart that she misses you so much, but she is growing into a wonderful caring and kind lady! I love her like she is mine. I pray daily for your family. Rest in peace!

God only knows how much I miss you, baby sis. Our baby girls life is in turmoil and I don't know what to do to help her. I want to talk with you so bad it hurts. Savannah and the girls go back to school soon. They are growing up so fast. I wished that heaven had cell phones so we could talk. I miss our 2 hour morning wake up calls that we used to have. I still find myself picking up the phone to call you, then my heart breaks a little more because I know I can't call. I love you still sis and that will never change.

Well girl a year has came and gone and it still dont feel real. Feel like any minute we will wake up and you will be calling us with some crazy thing Hydee did or Shelby done. Or just to say hey we are going camping. We miss you very much and still are looking after the girls, was suppose to go see them this week but had to post pone it for a while. Love you.

Two more days and a year will have gone by for us. The pain in our hearts is stronger now than before. So much has happened since I got the call from the hospital sissy. It hurts so much that I can't remember what I did or who I talked with that night. My mind has blocked out almost everything from that day and even on the trip up there for your ceremony. It is like amnesia is keeping one of the worst days of my life from me. The same thing happened when we lost Sharon. I can’t even remember how I got the message or how we got back down here or the drive back.
I feel like you are here with me trying to protect me like you used to when we were little. God how I miss our morning talks on the phone, it never failed you would call right before Savannah got on the bus for school and we would talk for hours at a time. Mostly about our little ones and how proud of them we were and of what we hoped for them in the future.
I wish that I could have done more to help you. Sometimes I feel like I failed you because we moved back to Alabama and left you there with no close family. I know that you where lonely and needed a lot more support. When dad was sick and you asked to move here, I wish now that everyone would have said yes, but it was ultimately Pop’s call. I don’t know if it would have changed anything in the long run and I guess we will never know.
To be continued:

You'd love him, and He already loves you. I love you too and i feel like you threw us two together cause he's just what i need to get through this crazy time. ⫬ only do i have strong feelings towards him, i believe daddy & Hydee do too (:

"Last night I had a crazy dream, a wish was granted just for me it could be for anything. I didn't ask for money, or a mansion I Malibu. I simply wished for one more day with you. One more day, one more time, one more sunset mommy I'd be satisfied. But then again, I know what it would do, leave me wishing still for one more day with you."
