Its been a year and still the pain of losing my mother hurts as if it happened today. I live everyday hoping that I will wake up and see her face. I have struggled threw these last few weeks, trying not to relive that day, trying to erase the pain. But when I look back at how much pain she went threw I realize maybe i need to stop being so selfish because now shes in a better place. I will continue to heal slowly day by day and just be glad that she is in a better place.

R.I.P Monica Carter!
I love you mom

Monica I know that you can hear me every time I come on here. Yesterday was just the breaking point for me. I know your not here and I just can't get accept it. I tried so hard but I can't because my real true best friend, my wife is not here. I don't think I will ever be happy again nor be able to move on. I miss you so much Boo Boo!

September 13, 2009

Next month is coming very fast and I am not handling this well Monica. I am right now listening to our own personal song by Maxwell "Sumthin' Sumthin'" and I am looking at you. As I am listening I am thinking about all the good times we shared and even the bad times. I wish we had the time too fix things with us but then you were taking from me before I could even tell you what I was missing and it was, YOU!!!! I really miss you babe!! Your in my heart always and no one will ever take your place this I know.

Jeannette Ford

August 10, 2009

I can agree with Keona about its so hard to come on here and I have shut myself down because you are not here. Its so hard for me not seeing you here but I am doing my best to not fall. No one seems to understand that you not being here has become very hard and since you left I can't stop the tears. Since you left you took me with you but I am fighting this battle everyday alone. I know you wouldn't want me to stay stuck but no matter who I am around or who I am with no one can take your place at all. I just want you to know that you will always remain in my heart where you are suppose to be and I don't care there is no one who can ever take your place not by a long shot. I love you and I miss you terribly

Mom,
I wish I could have shared this mother's day with you. Yesterday I was so sad and lonely. I thought about all the mothers and their children going out to eat and spending quality time together. I thought if only I could spend this day with the mother i always have and always will love. I dont know if you can hear me when i talk to you but you will never be forgotten. You are my angel and one day we will be united again. I love you mom!

But Boo Boo everyday seems hard for me when I need you to talk too but then I hear your voice telling how much you love me and to keep my head up because our children and grandchildren need me. I was always the strong one to do whatever I had to do for my family. Boo Boo I miss you so much and tomorrow will be hard but I will pull through. Love You Baby and that will never die

To The Carter Family,

I was saddened to hear about the loss of a long time friend. It has been a while since I've last seen Monica, but when I did see her we talked about old times in Junior High School, and got to share some of the good times that we had at Forest Grove. When Monica came around she lit up the room with her courageous smile and laughter. She will be truly missed.

My deepest sympathy at the loss of Monica; Daughter, Sister, Friend and Mom. Monica and I met when she was a Sophomore and I a Freshmen, she took me under her wing like an older sister would do and we became friends. I will always remember her style, her bright eyes, her beautiful smile, and her infectious laugh. As I look at her photo today, those memories flood back to a time so long ago. Monica and I lost touch in the years but I never forgot her kindness; in essence her spirit. Until we meet again friend (Monica).
God Bless

Ms. Carter, We met when Monica lived across the hall from me on Federal St. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember her always smiling and even when I saw her years later in Recovery she was still smiling. She is smiling with the Angels now; and she is probably making them laugh, she is home now and all her pain and suffering is gone. Ms. Carter I pray for God to ease your pain and suffering, and Whitney as well. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I can't say enough. God Bless You!
