It's been a long 13 years since you left us. I remember the day, the day we NEVER wanted to come. I've missed you so much. I think of you every single day! I know you are watching over us, which I do find some comfort in. And, knowing you're in heaven with Grandma B is something I like to think about. You aren't here with all the craziness of the world. When I find myself being upset and angry that your life was cut too short and how you weren't here with us long enough, I think of...

Its been almost 11 years. Seems like it was yesterday that you left us. As I get older, it amazes me how fast time is going. I think of you everyday. I know you and mom are getting on fabulously. I love you and I miss you. Until we meet again.

It's another Father's Day without you and I still miss you SO MUCH! You missed a big event last week...Brandon GRADUATED!! Lynn, David and Devon were out and I kept thinking how something didn't seem quite complete...I know what it was...I just tried not to think about it that way. And to just accept that things are the way they are, but it doesn't make it easier...just leaves a void. A friend at work said she had something but wasn't sure if she should give it to me or not. She said it...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!! It's your 3rd birthday away from us. It's not much easier. I still want to pick up the phone and call you and figure out where we are going to go for you and Steve's dinner. Maybe Grandma B has made you some liver and onions, with black eyed beans, grits and some iced tea for your birthday :-) I'm sure you know we are all thinking of you EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
I LOVE YOU
Sandy

Hi Dad,
I miss you so much. It still feels to me like this all just happened somedays. Yesterday i went to the dentist and i was sitting there in the chair thinking about how the next day was my birthday i started to get teary eyed. Thank goodness they had sunglasses on me so no one knew i was crying. I was crying mostly because i was going to have another birthday and you would not be here for it. But the other reason i was crying was because i was thinking about how you always asked me...

Dad, It's been quite a while & so many things have been happening. One big one. So while I have a couple of moments I thought I'd let you know. You have a new grandson. His name is Devon & he's quite a handful already. How I wish you were here to see him... hold him... Love him. I sure would love to be able to talk to you about him & would love to give you a big hug when we visit. I know I could really use one. But I'm counting on you to watch over him. About time for feeding again,...

Well Dad, I can't speak for everyone else, but, as much as it is emotionally exhausting for me to type to you, it is just as theraputic. So, we've decided to keep it another year. We will always have SO much we want to say to you, and this has been a great way for us to do it.
Keep watching over us, We love you,
Sandy

Dennis,

A year has gone by since you left us. It doesn't seem like it. It seems more like only a couple of months. It has not been easy. But, I guess it wouldn't be easy, because of someone like you who was needed so much for his wisdom, his advice, and his guidance. You knew what to do. Like today at lunch, Brandon saying that you were the reason that he holds doors open for people or to help them carry things. You were the one who told him to do that, he said. As in everything...

June 13th 2009-Saturday: I'm at Flyball practice with Valyn today and in between working with her, errands, and heading home to pack for our trip to Tampa, all I kept thinking of was where I was
June 13th, 2008: It was a year ago this date I will NEVER forget. One year ago, it was Friday the 13th. You were in Riverside Community. It was a "Great" day for you. You were in the Critical Care. Sitting up in bed, watching TV and interacting with me and the nurses, and you were hungry! I...
