Dear Mick,
You have been helping me, I suppose. I am finding ways to distract myself.
This emptiness is underneath it all though. May as well get used to it, huh

Dear son,
One year and four months after you were ripped from my world. God, Mickey - it seems so much longer than that. The days drag so without you in them. I have no enjoyment in life anymore without you, honey.
I am so mad at God. Will this resentment ever end?

Dear Mick,
Well, I can only hope that you understand why I can't finish your book.
I love you so much it hurts. I will see you when it is my time to cross the River Jordan and I know you will be there to meet me.
I am going to finish my work here on this earth and God will take me when He is ready for me.
See you then, my baby boy.
Love
Momma ♥

My sweet Angel, I will never get over you being pulled away from us so early in your lifetime. I am writing this message to you and I can barely see through my tears.
I am being selfish, however, because I know that in leaving this world, your suffering was ended and you are finally at peace. Your sister helped me to see that.
Mick, I know that you are with me.you have made your presence known on so many occasions. I haven't felt you in the past few days,and that's on...

Hey, Mini-Me.
Well, it is a year to the day tomorrow since Colleen and I last saw you alive. I think that is the largest milestone that I shall ever face in my lifetime.
I have a message, written by none other than Dr. Seuss, hanging on my bulletin board:
"Don't cry because it's over,
Smile because it happened."
Dear Little Mickey, that is indeed the way I feel about your short time here on earth. Instead of crying because you left us so soon ... I need...

Hey mick, it's your sister.
I've delayed writing in this for so long and I'm not sure why. But I know I couldn't live without putting in my love as well. The more I think about what to say I freeze so I will just go with it. 2015 has been the most crazy year of my life, and January 8th it all started. My eyes opened. My soul woke up and went back to sleep multiple times over. From the fleeting beautiful moments where all I can do is look and feel in awe to the times I can't...

Hi honey. I just got out of the hospital. I had pneumonia and some other issues! Guess what! Your daddy got his liver. He is supposed to go home sometime this week. We are all so happy for him. I can't help thinking that you had something to do with both me and your daddy getting well, John.
I miss you every day and Thanksgiving is coming up, the last day we saw each other with you alive. That is going to be a very hard day for me. I don't know how I'm going to make it...

Hey Honey How are you? I was sick but I'm better now. We all think of you daily and will never forget your sweet ways and your funny ways, too ( "Leave a Message") I loved it.
