Today Rose and I took part in a walk to End Alzheimer’s . It was wonderful , inspirational and emotional to see the turnout of friends and families to support this cause . Time passes but every minute of every hour of every day is precious . Today we spent the morning honoring and remembering Dad with hope that the future will bring an end to Alzheimer’s. We love and miss you more than you will ever know but the memories made keep us going .
Forever and always

You don’t know how many times I wish you , dad and Mingo could each tell me “I love you !” One more time . I just left the cemetery and you are all heavy on my mind .
Love you forever and always

I have had dad on my mind a lot . Even through his memory loss there were still moments of clarity ,love and great joy . He never failed to thank me for being there for him . All his cards I saved from him he wrote “ I don’t know what I would do without you .”and he thanked me for helping him .

Today I thought about you as Ava and I walked along the lake and butterflies were fluttering around us . I remember especially how much you liked the Monarchs . That is what inspired me to paint them on my fence . The butterfly is a symbol of freedom , joy and transformation .You , dad and Mingo are fluttering in heaven as free as a butterfly fluttering their wings . I miss you always and forever .

I thank God for you , dad and Mingo .I am grateful for all the time we spent together , the laughter and all the memories we shared . Time moves on ,but the memories still bring laughter to my heart and tears to my eyes . As I lay here watching the sun go down I am thankful for each and every second of the day . Time passes but my love for the three of you will always be the same . I love you forever , I love you for always .

Tell Dad I visited his friends at the cornstand and they said they miss him . I am sitting here enjoying a piece of corn as I write this and as dad would say “ man is it good ! “ I sure do miss all of you . You are all now harvesting the fields in heaven and enjoying the view from above . Keep watching over us until we meet again . Love you forever and always .
