Hey Son
I wish you were here more than ever, now. I feel so alone. I wish we were together. It must be so peaceful where you are.
I hate life without you, your smile, your laugh and your big heart!
I hope that I was a good Mother in your eyes, because I tried really hard.
You are my ANGEL! Rest in peace.
I wish I could live in peace.
I love you, forever

Hey Son.
Your uncle Sheldon died a few weeks ago. He loved you so much.
I wish I could tell you how I'm feeling, but I'm not quite sure myself.
I need to see your smile and hear your sweet voice. I miss you sooooooo, much!
I don't even know why I'm still here because I'm miserable. Losing you was the worse thing to ever happen to me.
Rest in peace my love and if it's true what they say, then you and Sheldon are together.
I love you, both!

Hey My Love, I visited you and put some beautiful flowers on your grave site for Mother’s Day! It never gets any easier when I have to leave you behind.
I have bad news and wish you were here to support me and just listen. You always listened to your Momma! They say that you can hear me, but I’m not convinced, but here goes.
I was diagnosed with Lupus and stage 3 Kidney failure. My right eye (retina) is slightly bleeding which will lead to blindness if it continues. I also have Lyme Disease which went untreated in the military. The hits just keep on coming!
My only solace is having faith that I will be seeing YOU, again!
I hate this life without YOU, but I love it with your DAD and your BROTHER in it. Without them, I would probably be with you, my love!
I have to tell you that Tayelor is graduating from H.S. Can you believe it?! Tinisha has a grown daughter! I HATE that I can’t be there for her, but your Dad and Brother will be there to represent. I promised you that I would always be there for Tinisha and I am..She’s my ride or die! You wouldn’t believe how close we are!
Well, that’s all for now. I always feel better after I write my thoughts to YOU!
I love you FOREVER,
Mom

Tinisha and I had a good laugh about you, yesterday love. I put white roses on your grave. Ray called. I miss you like crazy, my first born. That smile and that laugh are etched in my heart. I don’t know how I’m still in this world without, you! You had my back, front and sides!
I love you so much, Kelvin. This world needed you in it to make it better. You’re my Angel, now. I’m grateful and blessed to be your MOM!

I also posted Cedric’s letter that he typed to you because it was stolen from your grave site. Can you believe he is 29 years old?
Your Dad is still working hard and playing golf.
We love you so much and miss you just as much!
We were there for your birthday and put down flowers and spinners.

Son, I cant sleep tonight, again. Constantly thinking of you. I remember when your Dad and I came home after the gulf war to see you, but we couldnt bring you home with us because you still had school. When we were leaving, you were running behind our car yelling for us to bring you with us! My heart still breaks when I think of you running behind the car, but we couldnt bring you home, yet. I am sorry for that day. Leaving you was so hard! You leaving me was even harder!
Sometimes I still feel like I cant make it another day without you! I never thought I could love anyone so much! You made us so happy!
I love you, forever!!
Mom

Hey Son,
Cant sleep. Thinking about January 27th. The day you left me.
I am so glad the holidays have passed, but now I have to make it pass that day. I have decided to not let anyone tell me to move on or try to replace that day with their childs birthday. I am happy that Lexi was born on that day, but Im sad for you. I want to only think of you on that day. Its like people want to tell me to move on, but they have all their kids alive. Well, no more!
I am putting my wants and needs first, for a change. Im cutting people out of my life who arent good for me. Im doing what makes me happy or even sad. I know I sound a little angry, but Im just fed up. I concentrate on what makes others happy and Im losing myself. No more!
I wish you were here, but YOU are always and forever in my heart! You are my heart and soul. You made our family so happy and complete. You are my ANGEL in Heaven.
Mommy loves you and miss you with all she has....

Hello My Love,

Your Dad and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary last Sunday and Cedrics 26th birthday. We took your picture with us. We went to Washington DC. We visited the White House, The African American Museum, The Lincoln Memorial and we gambled at the MGM Casino. I wanted you with us, as always! I will be at your grave site first thing, early morning of your birthday ❤ You are my heart and soul and I will love you forever!! I love being your Mother! Thank you for making me so proud and the happiest Mom on earth!!
Always,

Kelvin. I can't sleep, again. It's 4:30 am. I'm feeling like I should say that I'm sorry that I didn't help you. I didn't know you were sick, but I'm your Mother and I should have known! I am so very sorry! I know that's part of why I can't move on completely. I let you down. You were so happy to start your life and it was cut short. All I can say is that I hope we made you happy while you were with us. Everything reminds me of you. My love for you is stronger than ever. I miss you like crazy! I will never be completely happy, again.
Always, my baby...

Kelvin, we went to see Mariah Carey in Vegas. We had so much fun. I got sick and it was the worst I have ever felt.
I'm OK, now. I'm just a little weak.
I miss you and my love for you is as strong as it's ever been. I always wish I could call you on the phone. No matter how many friends I have, I still feel lonely. I need you. You loved talking on the phone for hours. I did too.
You're my baby, my first born, love.

Kelvin, we miss you sooooo much. I think about you every day. Wish you were here but I understand that those things are not in my hands. I cherish and I'm thankful for the time that we had with you on earth. I'm prayerful that we will be blessed to see you in heaven. I know that you are looking down on some outstanding stuff! Your brother is remarkable and I'm so proud of him. He is great! Your Mom is everything! Amazing, caring, loving and STILL the light of my life. Last but not least, I'm taking her to see Mariah Carey!!! I know that this doesn't sound to manly, but I had to tell her that I am a lamb! I had to do what I had to do in order to go to Vegas and see Mariah too. She has been trying to cut me out of the trip!!! :-) By the way, a lamb is Mariah Carey's following... I guess I should end the update now. Son, I love and miss you more than anyone will ever understand. I would say TTYL but there is no need, you are in my prayers daily.

Hey My Love. I miss you like yesterday. You've been the light of my life for so long. Your smile warms my heart.
I must tell you about my 50th b'day. Tinisha, Andrea, Ray, LaTonya and Raymond came and stayed for the party. We celebrated Ray's b'day, too. So many people came and it was the best ever! I think we partied 2 nights straight. Your Dad got me Vegas Tickets to see Mariah on Feb.10th. We leave on the 8th. We all missed you and of course we sat around talking about you. Cedric loves to hear your friends tell stories of Japan. They all have been here for Cedric through High School and College graduation. You would be proud. Can you believe your brother lives on his own and has a great job?
I wonder what you would be doing.
Tinisha has become one of my best friends and "no" she never forgets you. She has this giant tattoo of your name on her leg!
I wanted to see you and Cedric grow up together, but it wasn't meant to be...he has your laugh...he saved me when I lost you.
Your Dad has been so good to me and I am good to him. We realize small problems are just that..small.
Married 27 yrs and counting.
I love you with all my heart and soul. Don't give all of your beautiful smiles away in Heaven before I get there. I thank the Lord for you and the 19 wonderful years he gave us together. You made our lives fun, Kelvin.
Mommy loves, you!
January 21, 2016
Kelvin it's almost the anniversary of the day you departed from us. It's been 12 long years since we saw that smile that made us all happy to see you. I wish you were here to help guide Justin. He looked up to you and would run to look for your car. You helped to mold him and I thank you so much. Your parents shared you with so many of us. We are all so very grateful. Thought you should know what's going on in our lives. Josh is in college, second year pre-med. Justin is graduating this year (high school). Lord help us all. Kelvin please be his angle and guide him. Fatima had a baby. His name is Bryce and he turned 1 last year. Amie had a little girl, she's a month and her name is Aleeliah. They are beautiful children. You would have made one amazing uncle. I will make sure they know who you are. I still have pictures of you. Justin keeps your pictures in his room. He's 6 feet tall. Poor Josh, he's only 5 feet, I told him height doesn't make the man. He is so focused. Justin is on his way to college, not sure what he is going to school for. I'm just happy he's going. Kelvin I love you and miss you. I know you are guiding your brother Cedric to be a great man. I know he towers over me by now. Continue to be the light for your parents. You are truly missed.

Cedric has officially moved out of the house. He has a great job and his apt. Is beautiful! We decorated and had fun until it was time to leave him. He starts his job on Monday. He made sure that he had your last letter to him placed by his bed. I thought of you and how you left home and it broke my heart. I love my fellas so much.

Hey Sweetie. Hard to believe it's been 12 years. We visited your grave as always. It was so cold outside.

He is a great person. Ok. Mama loves you, always!

Hi sweetheart. It's been hectic around our house so I forgot to write. I got some bad news about my eyes and I have been kinda sad. The a Doctor told me that I could go blind, today, tomorrow, next week or within a year. I have Lattice Degeneration. The only thing that hurts is not being able to look at your beautiful pictures everyday. I have your face in my memory, but I love your pictures. I still go in your room just to be close to you. My heart breaks everyday for you. I love you forever and always.

Hi sweetheart. Its Mom. I can finally express my feelings about this. Your brother was in a horrible accident. A truck hit his car and it was totaled. A bystander had to help your brother out of the car. I drove to the accident and saw the car and almost passed out. I looked and saw your brother standing on the side of the road, crying. I ran to him and hugged him tight. I was so grateful that he was not taken away from us, like you we're. I needed you in that moment. I cried for you and all that you are not a part of in our lives. You were our light in a very dark tunnel. Your brother carries that picture of you and him, back and forth to college. He graduates in May,2014. Wish you were here to share, but you are with us always. I love you, forever!

I tried to post a message earlier today. For some reason it didn't take. :-(. We are doing okay. I know that you would want us to be. One day at a time. We think of you every day. You would be proud of your (not so little brother), he is doing good. We are proud of him. Your Mom is doing the best that she can. As you know, she is remarkable! You have been an answer to my prayers and I am proud to have had you in my life. You remain to be a part of my prayers until we see each other again.

Kelvin its Mom. Its 10 years today but it feels like yesterday. We are on our way to your grave site with your Aunt Loretta. Tinisha sent us a flower that reminded us of Japan. I looked at all your pictures again. You are so beautiful and I miss your smile so much. I love you and I am so proud to be your mother. As always, Lil Ced reminds me of you. All your friends keep in touch. You are so lucky to have friends like them. You are one of my pride and joys. Thank you for all the great memories you gave to our family. Mommy loves you.

Me and your Mom are visiting your Aunt Loretta and her Family this weekend. Today, we are all going to visit your grave site. As always, we think of you and miss you. Sine I last posted, your grandma Minor passed away. I know that she is with you in a better place with the many other loved ones who we cherish.

Hi Kelvin,
I haven't write you in a while but it doesn't mean that I forgot you. No, I haven't. I remember you even more and now that Samantha is also gone. With tear in my eyes I remind my memories very often to remember those days in Okinawa, listening to all of you laughting and seeing you having fun. God took you both from us too soon but I guess he had his reason and I have ot accepted it although I disagree with him. We love you very much. If you are with Samantha, look after those over here who miss you and love you to infinity. You will always be in our hearts.

Cedric has kept me going, but he's not you. I miss that beautiful smile and that laugh that just melted my heart when I heard it. We thank 'God" for you everyday! I thank your Aunt Winnie for this site, so that I can express my love for you.

Hey!just found out about the site but My favorite memory that Winnie the Pooh and I always talk about was the homemade typhoon movie we made back then.. It was me and matu (amie) first typhoon and we wanted to make a video during our first experience )crying) we had so much fun .Every time we have a hurricane, I replay that night over and over again. Y'all were our family away from home. Love you and will never forget the happy moments. P.s. matu did have a crush on you...

You are loved and will always be loved. The boys and I talk and think about you all the time. Justin still have your picture in his room. I still have the sweater and shirt that both boys had on in the picture. Can't seem to let it go. The boys are now older as you can see from up there. Josh is almost out of high school and Justin is now in the 9th grade. I am so very proud of them and I know you would be as well. We all love you and miss you.

Hey Kelvin. It's Tiffany! I'm smiling from ear to ear thinking about how beautiful of a person you are but hurting inside to know you are still not here in physical form. I miss you so much. I will never forget all the good times we had. Airial, Kelvin#2, you and I were always having a ball. God blessed me with such a good friend in you. You taught me alot about friendship,respect, patience, and communicating in the short span of your presence. I told you when I got my first apartment that we would all have a get together and I called you over and over. You never called me. I thought you were mad at me because a few months had went by no word. So I went to the hospital and told Kelvin#2 to tell you I was upset we hadn't celebrated and you hadn't returned my calls. He broke the news to me. It hurt bad. I remember the last time I saw you, you were sick and your throat was hurting so bad you could barely talk but we were still cracking jokes lol. I wish I would have taken that last moment to tell you how much i cared for you and appreciated your ear and shoulder when I needed it. I love you.

What's up son? Although I don't visit this site too often, you know that I miss you and love you so much. I think of you every day. Today is my birthday (44) and I feel like I have everything that anybody can dream of but you still here with us. I know you are overlooking us. All I can be is grateful and blessed to have had you in my life. From riding in the car bustin rhymes, beating you down on the b-ball court (early days) and any ups and downs that we had. All great memories now. I will forever cherish them all. Your Mom and Ced are my motivation now. We all (Me, You and Ced II) have been the most spoiled people on earth because of your Mom. She is remarkable. As you look down on us, you know it (still). We are sooo proud of Ced II. This dude is holding it down in college! I pray that we can continue to see him grow and exceed all of his goals... I guess I am getting long winded. :-o I know you are laughing but you better not cut me off. :-) Until I write again. I miss and love you son.
