Dad,
Its been 3yrs since you were taken from us. weather its 3 yrs or 100 yrs you will never be forgotten and always remembered. It still feels like it was only the other day when you were putting me on the back of ur bike and speeding down the path in the woods. I was scared but i knew i was always protected.I will always cherish those memories. We all miss you like crazy. Its been a tough and ruff road w/ out you. Just looking at Cody and Casey grow up reminds me of you. Every little thing they do resembles you. I love u dad and we all miss you lots. You will remain always in our hearts and as its tattooed on my back and in my heart you are never forgotten. Rest In Peace.

Christopher is missed by his entire family. He has been gone just over three months, it is not real to us. I resist thinking of him not being alive in this world. It is so hard to bare. God has given me peace, I have to accept it. May God comfort all of us.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
