It just passed 19 years. How is that possible? And it´s been 4 and a half since I´ve become a widow. You´ve now spent more than half of my relationship with Cameron. I miss you both so incredibly much. I need some sign from ya´ll. It´s so hard to live this life without you.. and then Cameron dies as well? I know life isn´t fair, but this is downright cruel. Bleh. I´m just sad. And I need my husband. And I need my dad.

Still thinking about ya.

Daddy,

I know I was here just the other day, but I just want to tell you I love you and miss you. So.. Toogs just turned 23. Can you believe it?! He is growing up! You would be so proud of him. He is doing so well right now :) He is involved in some awesome NASA Robotics program. I can't give all the details, because well, I don't know a lot about it. Haha. But what I do know, it is really cool. Well I had my first Christmas away from the fam. It broke my heart. :/ I did...

It's been so long since I've come here.. It's crazy that it is about to be 10 years. 10 long long years. I miss you so very much. There have been so many things that have happened since you've left us. I have moved to Corpus to go to school. You'd be so proud... I go to A&M. Blargh! But I know you would of loved it. I am there with the best man I've ever met. I am getting married. You would be so confused by him! But eventually you'd grow to love him like the rest of the family. ...

Happy belated, dad. I miss you.

Daddy-
Happy Thanksgiving! Been thinking about you a lot lately. Steve's dad just passed away. :/ It's always hard to see someone else lose their dad. No matter what age. I wish I had better things to say to help him get through it. It's hard for him and his family. I just hope they are ok. I miss you terribly. Every day without you still sucks. No matter how much time has passed by. I met someone. Someone I care about a lot. I'm hoping things go well. I can't help but...

Your birthday passed and I thought of you. It is easier each year since your passing, and I'll always carry you with me.

Happy birthday, Dad. I love you. I miss you. It's still just as hard to think about. But I know you're watching over us. Give Papa, Maxiemom, and Mymy a hug and kiss for me. As well as my girls. I miss my kitties. Be good! *hugs and kisses*

Love always-

Well, I'm 24 now. Have been for a month. It's strange not having you here to help celebrate it with me. We had a few cancer scares with Ryan, G and mom, but all's well for the most part. Ryan has fibrodysplasia, so the doctors at St. Jude's say. Something you should see is this new prosthetic he's got. It's very strange to see him walk upright so naturally. This thing is a work of art, so beautiful. Keep watching over us like always, and thank you for helping us through these trying...
