Old probate paperwork popped up today and the memories came flooding back. I had to look through things from that day and as much as I tried to smile, the sadness filled my soul. Although life has changed dramatically, you are still loved and missed everyday. Sleep well.......

Today I make final preparations for my husbands funeral. I can't even process what's going on. Just know that I've been thinking a lot about you. Kind of creepy your memory video started to randomly play on my laptop. I love and miss you dearly. Xoxo

September 14, 2021

The last fees day, I've been thinking of you. There are homes in the burn areas that completely gone. And, as look at them, I remember our childhood home. So many great memories like gardening or taking care of me because I was so sick growing up. It's been a rough few weeks and I miss you so much.

October 18, 2018

Dad,
I sit here feeling alone and I am not sure why. I have a beautiful family, gainful employment and have been places I had never dreamed of before. I always think of you and wish you were still here, even if to make one more joke. Id love to hear your voice one more time and just talk about anything and everything. I imagine I would video chat you a lot more to show you places Ive been. I love and miss you always.

I wish you could have seen how far I've come. You are always in everything that I do. There is never a day that I don't think of you or wish you are still here. There's this place that I've been to in Missouri. The Wild Grape Leaves grow reminding me how Grandpa used to have us taste the sour grapes. There is a river here that I swear I saw you fishing in. And there's a young woman envisioning what life could have been with you still in it. I hope that you would have been proud of all of us and what we become. I love you very much. Until we meet again...

July 30, 2015

Still loving and missing you. I know you're watching over us. Sleep well....

Dad,
I hope you've enjoyed the Christmas Lights at our new house. To think if we didn't move, we couldn't have set all of those lights up. Ironically, I couldn't set them all up because there wasn't enough power this year. I'm sure you could have figured a way out! Some how I feel closer to you when I am outside working on things you always did. Mom enabled my obsession with lawn ornaments for next year. Secretly, I know she likes the lights and feels you there too. After all, she did buy the outdoor music sensors to go with the lights.


Love always,
Lilly

Your joy!

May 24, 2011

The Angels looked ‘ore the garden
And saw an empty space
So they glanced unto that orchard
And smiled upon your face
They saw my tears were flowing
As I tried to keep you here
It was then they gently whispered
“It’s time” softly in your ear
Now I’m left so lost and broken
And feeling all alone
And questioning why God in His wisdom
Would decide to call you home
I awaken every morning
With tears upon my face
I think of you and wonder
Why you’re in your resting place
Now all I have are memories
And dreams that will never be
You’re not the only one who died that day
You took a part of me.
For Tom 3/17/61 – 9/26/10

May 23, 2011

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

My uncle was a great man! I remember he used to scare me so much because he was so tall compared to me. He was always in charge of the grill out at the lake. Then the next thing I knew he would be tossing me into the lake like it was nothing! I remember tractor rides, him always making sure the steps in the lake were brushed down so none of us slipped, him helping us carry the boats down the hill... it's funny, all of my memories of him were good ones and all of them show him helping or taking care of everyone else... I'm sorry we had to lose another hero in our family. If you guys need anything please let me know. I know i'm far away in miles, but not in spirit. I love him very much. He is always in my heart and mind and so are you guys.
