Happy Anniversary Sweet Pea. I love you. I am glad you are celebrating with Jeaus. I can't say "wish you were here,"because that would be selfish. One day we will celebrate for eternity the great gifts God has given us. I guess God has plans for me. So when I'm done with whatever He has for me then I'll come see you all. Until we meet again my love.

Hey Daddy! I really really wish you were here. Today we had Jrs 7th birthday party. He had a blast! He's into Star Wars now, just like you. You would've loved his birthday party and his room is all Star Wars now. Everyone is doing ok I guess. We all are still coping and dealing with everything as well as we can. Theres not a single moment that goes by that I don't think about you, or I'm talking about you and our many memories. It still hurts sometimes but wehad such great times together that...

Happy Valentine's Day! Still love you and will always love you. I don't cry everyday anymore. I know you are happier now than ever. I can only imagine what it is like to be with God and Jesus. Someday I will get to experience it for myself. You will always be in my heart.

Daddy,
Christmas was very hard this year. Linda is in the hospital not doing very well so it was just me, Jr, Granny and Becky this year. We went to church for the candle light service. You would be so amazed at Trinity's new auditorium. We made the best out of Christmas and faked a smile throughout it all for your grandson. He misses you alot and asks alot of questions that I'm just not mentally prepared to answer. I'm starting a new job with better hours so i can spend more time with...

I still miss you. It hasn't gotten any easier. I still love you like crazy. I miss. Everything. I even miss alll the things that annoy me. I still can't believe you're gone. You're everywhere in the house and it kills me. Everyday I ask Jesus to tell you I love you. I'm still waiting for God to show me the plan, because I can't see it. I'm still in school Choate. I won't disappoint you. I will get my degree. Thank you for loving me.
