Momma, I haven't written on this page in a long time. I try to be strong but I am weak. I miss you so much. When I think about you, all I can do is cry because I miss you so much. I hurt so much inside! My heart aches. I just want my momma's arms around me. :(

Hi Mammaw. I just found this. I wasn't looking for it but maybe I needed it. I am almost twenty two. I am married, and I have two kids. I know you have met Grayson because he is with you now. Losing him was a surprise much like losing you. I took both him and Aaliyah to meet you just weeks before he passed. Maybe you knew and maybe God knew. I wish you were both here. I miss you right now and always.

It's the day after Christmas and all I have done is thought about you. It has been almost 3 years since you died. We all miss you! Ty talks about you all the time and Jalen sees your picture and ask about you. He was too young to remember you when you died. Love you

September 21, 2008

Today, I went to the viewing for aunt Mickey's funeral. So sad that so many people are leaving us. But I know that every one is better off than here on earth. With the sickness and the pain that we all endure. I know you are in a better place.
I love you mommy. I wish you could see the boys and play with them.

Your daughter,
Amy

Hi Mommy.
I really MISS you. It is so hard to keep on moving when your not here. This month has been bad. My birthday was so hard. I miss you so much. You use to be the first person to call me on my birthday. Then others will follow. NO ONE called to wish me happy birthday. That hurt so bad. Not even my own family. Things are so different now. I wish you were here. I love you.

Hey Mommy.Its been a while since I last wrote.This year has been a busy year,Mostly March.March is always CRAZY.I just wanted to let you know that things were okay and I will always have you in my thoughts,memories,and heart.Love always your little girl.

MOMMY you think I would be more at peace since it's been over a year since WE all lost You but It's getting harder and harder.The other day I went to call home and I dialed your number.I wish I could hear your voice again.I want you to hold me and take all my pain away.I love you and miss you so much.I been doing so well besides the fact that I your not here to guide us & love us any longer.

January 12, 2007

Hi, Mommy :-)
I just wanted to say I love you.
It's been a year since you have went home. It doesn't seem like you have been gone a year now.
I am so thankful that God has comforted me during this time.
Know you are loved & missed by all.
With love always,
Amy

Hi Mommy :-)
I just wanted to say that I love u.
I miss you so much. Right now I am working on somethings that you wanted me to work on. My anger issues. I am also working on forgiveness. Forgiveness in every area of my life. I was so mad and angry at you for leaving me. And I forgive you. I also forgive myself for being mad at you. You didn't decide to up and leave on your own. The Lord decided it was time for you to go home. To be with him, to have peace, be pain free, and to love and worship him.
I am going to continue to work on these things in my life that I have used as an excuse. I am not doing this just for you mommy. I am doing this for me. Thats one thing that I have changed about myself. I am changing things for myself, and no one else.
I love you.

Hi Mommy!!! I just wanted to let you know that I love you. I miss you too. Ty started 1st grade. He like his teacher. Jalen turned 1 year old. It was so hard for us with you not being here. I am sorry I let you down so many times. And most of all after you died. I pray everyday that things get better. Not just for me but our entire family. Mommy I LOVE YOU!!! MISS YOU SO MUCH!! Everyone thinks that since I go to church now it doesn't bother me. How wrong they are. I don't dwell on it, and let it take over me anymore. I can't. I had to let you go. It was destroying me and it hurts so bad all time. OH, Mommy I want you here and I can't have you but I know I will be with you one day. Thank you Jesus for sending me a great mother....

With love always@}------

I miss you so much.It hurts so much to loose someone you love.I know it was time for you to stop hurting and be free of discomfort.But that doesn't change the fact I want you here.Its not right not being able to hear your voice or to know that I cant be close to you.People say when your love 1's pass they watch over you& they are there.But I can't see you so that doesn't make it easier.I suppose I will never be the same again, I know it wont.I wish yuo could hold me like when I was a little girl again. I want my mommy so much but I can't have you.Its not fare.All the bad people in the world and we had to loose you and Eric had to loose his little girl. It doesn't make since,it's not ment to I know .

Love you.

Hi Mommy!!! I just wanted to let you know that we all miss you and love you. I have been going to church every Sunday for over a month and I love it. I have also been taking the kids. I even got Angie to go with me. I know I have not been writing as much, but know that not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Mommy even though you are gone and I can't pick up the phone I still have you in my heart. I have to call on Jesus when I need you. I ususally call a friend or 2 first. But I am learning. I will be putting God first in everything that I do by the end of March. I know this is something that you wanted all of us girls to do. It just some of longer than others.

Love you Mommy.

I have decided that this is going to be my way of talking to you Mommy. I use to call you everyday or so just to say HI or Hey how are ya doing? Now I can't. I miss talking to you so much. When I think about calling you I go numb. I have no feeling. I am so confused about what to do. I get to thinking about you and start crying. Then I think about you laughing at christmas whaen the kids opened there gifts that helps me a little. But its not the same. I want you here with me. And I know that selfish. Thats just what I want. I know your not hurting anymore and not scared. Your at peace. I am just so lonely now. Yes I have Shawn and the Kids. I even have Donna. We have come to be pretty close now. I call her everyday to make sure she is okay. Just like you did. I also need her now. Mommy I love you and miss you so much.
